In My Eyes
An unbridled devotion
To things that shan't transpire
With undivided emotion
I've become a soulless vampire
Love is a riddle
But the heart is brittle
Played like a fiddle
To slowly whittle
In my eyes I am a bard
Who sings songs of love
Trying so very hard
To be your only dove
When pleasure is pain
And pain is pleasure
It cuts deep in the vein
Without equal measure
In my eyes you are a starlet
With a beautiful heart
Painted sensationally scarlet
Like classical art
Splendidly spectacular
Would it be so wrong
If I dropped casual vernacular
To sing one last song
In my eyes this is my last verse
And I'll play it till it bursts
Though that may be my curse
I create my own hurts
Without a whim
Though whom it may concern
I sing for you an honest hymm
To show how much I yearn
