EYES THAT WEEP
After so much time it's still you
That affects me so deep down
Sometimes the feelings so strong
Make me feel like I will drown
So close and now so very far away
How could you just leave so easily
When you promised me you would stay
Somehow you got so close over time
Now I wonder if the damage is done
If I will ever forget you and let it all go
How do you release a very special one
Who touched you so deep in your soul
Why is it only your arms that comfort
The only one who brought such peace
When the angel of darkness came
You let her lead you away from me
I wonder why I ever let you in so deep
Now to allow it again seems foolish
Why open up to this kind of pain
How do I not fear being betrayed
Crying tears over you again today
Seemingly you would think the hurt
Would just up and go away by now
Yet because we shared so very deep
Now I am left with eyes that weep
So as I get close to another I wonder
How far do you go knowing what can be
To allow the joy fearing the ultimate pain
Having missed such a close connection
Begin a new day with hope remaining open
Embracing the chance to be set free from you
Finding that trust can be gained once again
See this transformation from hurt and pain
Now into a sweet connection of sharing
Finally loving this feeling of truth and exchange
