Idle Eyes

Idle Eyes How this became as I fought for my causes to hold you in my arms Shut out is like shut up without an argument without a drink Every bit of bad is worth a thousand goods That imperfect fluff etched into my soul Expectations with no chance of exhilaration Thoughts of what would have been gave way to an old wise man I battle The balance of justice and friendly talk Now, finding the unlit cave dark and foreboding, expectations without life I taste the apples sweet when I settle to gaze into the vastness of your eyes In the end , to be close to somewhere that is where it should have begun Beguiled to the point of abstractness An illusion of your hand to balance the added weight of my heavy heart You had me at honey, for the rest of my life Our closeness proved merit for my love, but no one would hear of it I felt great crush surrender to an enemy That a lesson apparently repeated through life This enemy incapacitated my free will .and to that end I feel closer But further away from the truth in my soul
