We stare at each other
I see you laugh at me with malice in your eyes
You love to see me squirm
You love to know I'm hurt
Pushing me away
But then pulling me close again
To hear my heart as a song
Only you can start
But leave as the words blur to a stop
Your eyes sparkle with deceit
But our eyes only meet
For a moment they darken
Full of regret
But you never wanted me to see
So they close and open back to repeat
It's a tango
My mind going wild
My heart keeps letting you back in for more
Hold me tight in your clutch
As you never did before
Tell me the truth
Why do you hate me?
Why is it so easy to get lost?
Show me a way to forget you
As you have forgotten my precious heart
Blame is set in your eyes
But I have done nothing but give you space
Something you said you needed
But now you wound my heart
Flirting about with the tramps
Laughing along with the tarts
But you stare at me
When no one sees
But I do
Because I'm always staring back at you
Tell me
Because the moment I walk along someone else
You pull me back into orbit
The moment my eyes shine for another
You make gravity take hold
You don't want to lose me
But you never want to catch me as I fall
Our eyes meet everyday in understanding
I leave alone or forgotten
His eyes fill with anger
As someone sees me for once
I was not invisible
Dressing like a lady
I wore makeup
And he was sweet
Walking me to class
But there it goes
Our eyes meet
They were cold
And for once he did not intervene
But he pulled me aside
And spoke to me
Eyes sincere and caring
Too bad all he had to say was
"I'm leaving....moving... To Spain. I ......love you.....please accept my apology"
But I walked past him
More like I ran
He ran after me
Into the rain
My makeup washed down my face
As I sat down on the descending stairs
He sat down across from me
Pulled me into him
His hands caressing my face
I hate you
You left me
You played with me
I hate you
All words I could not utter
For the beating of my heart was louder
He pulled his face close to mine
And layed his forehead against my own
Staring deep into my eyes
I saw them as I did for once
The same as I did the first day
No malice or disgrace inside
But the boy who had no pride
As we shook
Realizing it was cold
He gave me his sweater and walked off
I never saw him again
But he forgot I will always carry that pain.
