With the Prettiest Eyes

My anguish............ 
Burned...... 
Burned deep 
The black heart to vanquish 
No pleasure to keep 

There is a girl out there.......... 
That feels it too.......... 
With a heart, 
beating through 

A girl..... 
With the prettiest eyes 
A single moment.......... 
Filled with light......... 
When she looked at me 
Heaven sent 
Heavenly sighs 

When you connect........ 
A moment in time.......... 
The eyes reflect........... 
A moment in light............ 
The heart squeezed.......... 
The moment seized......... 

A girl........... 
With the prettiest eyes 
Filled me with light 
My black heart vanquished 
Filled me with sighs 
What I wished... 
A moment.............. 
In her sight
