Your Looks
Your punishing look;
With such venom in your eyes,
Casts dispersions upon my character;
As if my entirety you despise.
Though my error was one of innocence,
Under a rock I wish to crawl.
Your punishing look;
Can no pleasantries you recall?
Your questioning look;
Causes me too, to doubt myself;
Perhaps indeed my motives were flawed;
Maybe I need some psychological help.
Why do I do the things I do?
I hate disappointing you so.
Your questioning look;
Just what is it you want to know?
Your forgiving look;
Softens the hurt I feel inside,
I have prayed for your forgiveness;
I didn’t mean to make you cry.
I know I’ve learned a lesson
That I’ll remember through the years.
Your forgiving look;
Does it help keep back the tears?
Your understanding look;
No one else knows me like you do;
You know that I’m not perfect,
But mistakes don’t mean I don’t love you.
My heart is in the right place,
It’s just my head that's out of whack.
Your understanding look;
Can you please not take it back?
Your loving look;
Returns to your eyes eventually;
I consider myself a lucky man
Every time they stare at me.
I will do my best to ensure
I give no more reasons for the other stares.
Your loving look;
Can I take it with me everywhere?
