Thy Heart Thy Eyes

I see you with my heart And I feel you with my eyes Yet my heart still has emotions that’s why it cries The heart with its own vision sees right through you So it knows when the love that is there isn’t true The eyes feel when water is about to drip down the face But quickly we highlight those emotions and click erase I see you looking at me from afar Yet the heart says they are not the North Star Listening to what the heart says I turn away Because I am being guided by that one emotion each day Look deep inside thyself to see what you feel Once seen the path you will no longer be called a 3rd wheel I feel you looking at me from afar Even if you’re speeding down a highway in the presidential car The stakes are high for this one yet I look right past you It’s not by the sight itself but the feelings that run thru The vision of a human eye can either get blurry or clear But even through the midst of the fog we should be able to steer Let the mind wonder as it does day to day Because in the act of relationships it has no role to play Tricking and scheming the mind will do Next thing you know your relationship will be through The eyes and the heart is the only thing that can be of trust Because they will tell us the difference between love and lust Why people continue to listen to the outside voices Is something I do not understand Because you’re holding all the cards in your hand Letting them tell you what a partner is doing and believing them Your letting them pick the cards in which you hold If thou continue to listen your relationship will fold Ignore the voices and approach them yourself and be bold Thy heart has 20/20 vision Whether you want to use perfect sight is your decision Thy eyes feel all No matter how big or how small The mind wants you to take a bite out of the apple that eve took from the tree But ignore thy mind and use what is given to you and free Because in the end your heart and eyes together will agree © Jeremy Fennell
