Have you ever dreamt of my face
But been completely perplexed by the tears on my cheeks?
Better yet, have you ever awoke in a cold sweat
And turned over to see me but I’m gone?

Destined to be with you forever
My eyes are my guide
And you are the prettiest path
I won’t run away, I won’t even look away
I don’t have to
Because your eyes massage mine with their beauty

You are touching lyrics to a song misunderstood
And you are the poem you can only truly read with your eyes closed

Have you ever had a gun that wasn’t cocked and aimed right at me?
Have you ever had a knife that wasn’t used to cut my flesh?

My eyes burn with tired tears
And my pupils dilate; trying to see you in more detail
If only humans’ sense of sight were keener
I would see your veins as they pulse within you
And I would see your darkened despair

Have you ever walked on water
And knew you wouldn’t fall?
Have you ever stumbled
And before it happened, you knew you’d hit the ground?

My eyes glow in your radiance
And I wipe away your tears
You’re crying for me, but I’m dying for you
And I only hope your tears will dry
As fast as my blood will after I’m gone

Have you ever known that something bad was going to happen
But you knew not of how to prevent it?
Have you ever watched something sinister
But felt unmoved thereafter?

My eyes become snowflakes
As they fall from your face to my bloodied wrists
My mind is cooled by the sight of my pain
I only wish you could truly see
Maybe then you’d know that I understand

Have you ever wanted to get away
Just get up and turn around?
Have you ever wanted to never look back
But you couldn’t turn your head any other way?

You see a haze in my eyes
And ask if I’m okay
You see the answer in my silence
And that’s the last thing you ever see
In my eyes
