Your pretty eyes
I struggle with expectations and hurtful revelations
You left me or did I leave you?
Because now I’m haunted by the colours You used to mark my life.
The rage of a sunset The glow of your soft lips Shining on my bare legs And reflecting off my bared teeth.
The hue of a thousand ‘sorry’s The light of a couple ‘yes’es And your pretty eyes To get lost in
The shade of my mother’s nails The bowtie on my father’s neck And the smile I couldn’t find On that special day
The scream of the night after The silk in my memories And your pretty eyes To die for.
The silent sigh of the moon The bricks under my feet And the colour of the bridges We have set fire to.
The cool sensation on my skin The wind on my face And your pretty eyes To remember forever
I struggle with pain and you’re away
You left me before you really met me
I left you before I had to stay with you
Because now I’m haunted By the pretty eyes You used To change my life.
