I Should Not Have Looked In Those Deep Chestnut Eyes
I Should Not Have Looked In Those Deep Chestnut Eyes
I should not have looked in
those deep chestnut eyes,
it was then I realized your
masquerade was just a disguise-
No matter how I feel now it’s
just all the same,
for I wish I never saw the heartache
and blame.
I should not have seen how you’d
torment my soul,
for suicide is nothing but
longing to be whole-
The moment I stared into
your heart I knew,
you’d be gone like the breeze,
as to heaven you flew.
I should not have looked in
those journals you wrote,
I found them when I was
searching through your tote-
I read entries upon entries of
anguish you endured,
I wish I never saw how lost
you truly were.
No pain I encounter could
compare to your guilt,
you promised me that love
was a foundation we built-
If I saw you just one more day
I’d ask you just one thing,
why on earth would you
take off our special ring?
You took it off sometime ago and
I didn’t even know,
Karen, I loved so you deeply…
why did you choose to go?
I should not have looked in
those deep chestnut eyes,
it was then I realized your
masquerade was...
...just a disguise.
