Our Eyes

They tell of stories

They tell of dreams

Sometimes feelings

Are pulled past those seams

Each pair unique

Never the same

Watching where we go

And where we came

Some say they are

The entrance to our souls

Bursting with precious light

Or dark lifeless holes

Others cannot open them

Only we decide to let others in

By our own choice

Whether it be friend or kin

What’s inside is revealed

Through these ancient doorways

How we feel and what we really want to speak

Yet the words in our throats will forever stay

See those sleepy eyes?

See those hurting tears?

Of course you don’t

Because yours are showing fears

Tell me

Let your feelings out

Or let your eyes do it for you

There is no reason to doubt

Let it all flow

The tears of sorrow

The tears of pain

It will all be over by tomorrow

Just give me your hand

And look at my eyes

I trust you so please trust me

I will always tell the truth no lies
