Empty Eyes

There was nothing but emptiness in his eyes
It was like he didn’t have a soul
He hid it well like wearing a disguise
She looked at him and saw two black holes

It was like he didn’t have a soul
He stared through her like she was nothing
She looked at him and saw two black holes
His empty stare had her heart bumping

He stared through her like she was nothing
He hid it well like wearing a disguise
His empty stare had her heart bumping
There was nothing but emptiness in his eyes

Dream You

When I saw you standing at my door that night
I didn’t know what to think, or say, or do
I just stood there in awe and adornment

You smiled at me and I tried not to blush
I tried not to reveal my true feelings
I hoped you wouldn’t see that I wanted you

You read my face; you saw my heart; you knew
Before I could turn away you came to me
You took my hand and stopped me from running

Your lips met mine and in that perfect moment 
The entire Universe was frozen
Everything else disappeared as we united

You were perfect; I was perfect, we were
We were both perfectly connected and
My life was yours; your life was mine; our life

In that one kiss my whole life flashed before me
Joy, excitement, passion, thrill, happiness, Love
All emotions swirling around in my head 

And then I woke up holding my pillow; 
I guess I didn’t know it was a dream.
