Those were the intense eyes
That I frantically searched
Looking for the love they held for me,
And the yearning they showed for my touch.
But as I dived deeper into them
I could fathom what they held behind-
Never before seen longing
A love so divine
They were HER shrine.
How could I be so naïve
To be searching for a lie?
Every blink of your eye
Meant my failed try
To garner love for me.
What your eyes held behind
Was the love I came to see,
But it was for her
And not for me.
I may be with you
But will never be with you.
I know those eyes never lie
Hope has me looking up at the sky.
