Hazel


I look into your foxy eyes

All lit up with your smile,

My heart begins to race,

And then I go into denial.

I push back all the bad times

And bring forth all the good,

So even though it's mostly bad

If I could have you back I would.

Everytime I think I'm done

You try to drag me down,

And pretty soon I'm where you wanted,

And I slowly start drown.

It seems everytime I want to go

You look at me that way,

My mind begins to swoon

And then I can not get away.

My only hope is that one day

I will look into your eyes,

And instead of seeing hope,

I will see you for your lies.
