Look At Me, In My Eyes

Look at me, in my eyes Can't you see my innocence? Look at me, look at my legs Do they not look as weak as wet spaghetti? Look at me, at my figure I am shivering, aren't I? Look at me, notice my walk my talk my sway my wave They're all different when you're around. You don't just make me weak in my knees... I get weak all over. My toes My ankles My legs My knees My thighs My hips My waist My torso My arms My hands My fingers... My heart. My heart is your personal playing field. Yours to own or to wreck. But please, don't do both! Look at me, in my eyes Doesn't it look like I've suffered enough? I'm tired of giving all my love for you to not return the favor. Do you even accept my love? Do you even notice? CAN YOU HEAR ME?!!!!? I'm talking to you!! LOOK AT ME, in my eyes Can you see my hurt, my pain? All these years of holding it in... Then, when I found you... I thought I found someone... special. Someone who would listen to my story. Someone who would give me advice. Someone who would console me. Someone who would hold me through the tears. Someone who... Someone who... Someone who would LOVE me!! Look at me, at my tears Can you see my sincerity? Can't you tell that I LOVE YOU?!!? ... probably not. We don't talk. You don't talk. You don't smile. You don't show interest. You won't even look my way.
