and every freckle on your face
is filled with words of beauty and grace
yet lined with imperfections
telling stories of yesterday
a sky of constellations
stretched across your face
splattered with porpoise
told to be perfect
tales of yesterday
lost in the fade away
drowned out by the rain
in the end, again.
we'll try again.
oh, did you see?
the words you said
and what you meant to me?
eyes like coffee
dark and rich
the perfect combination
your mouth drips of honey
but your eyes are pouring acid
burning the lines
into the constellations
burning out the stars.
i see it in your eyes
when you think i'm not looking
i see it in the night
when you say everything is fine
but i know nothing is right.
i see it in the day
when you're eyes are staring without really seeing.
i see it in the look of your eyes
because there is something different
the way they look
there is something different.
a face of constellations
burning out bright against the dark night
lighting up the world, blinding
such glory-filled light.
your mouth drips of honey
but your fidgeting hands say otherwise
your eyes are dry
but i know it's wrong
it's in your eyes,
in the dark deep black
where the creatures hide
i've seen it before
in the mirror
in my own eyes.
you say you're waving through a window
and my heart fell and shattered like glass
because i was supposed to help you
supposed to help you.
you say you're waving through a window
you say it again
i'll be right behind you
tell you you're safe, you're fine
say you're waving through a window
and i'll smash it in.
