Shipwrecked Eyes

"Dripping faucet mocking all your tears False hope upon hope You've raised throughout the years Taped laughs of a love so long ago Broken by the breech of death Why, we'll never know Those words once spoken- Those words you do memorize Reflect in the pain I see In those Shipwrecked Eyes Yes, there're gone, so gone Alone we seem to be left Angered by our destinies And those we love, and God's theft There was a time before There will now always be A time to call "after" There once was a time of joy There was once a time of laughter For us the laughter replaced by pain Where once there was sunlight Now naught but pain When it comes to longing for things gone by You are now the Queen Your heart too often melted And you know what I mean Of your pain- I'd never trivialize... For now it's clear And now I can see And now I realize What it is that brought to you Those oh so,so,so sad... Shipwrecked Eyes Those who live Those we love Those we idolize Leave us, oh so suddenly... Stranded here... With Shipwrecked Eyes."
