Lovely Burns


Did you know your eyes burn holes

When you need me with your eyes and expect I don't know

 

What am I to think when your stare leaves scars

When you strip me bare and leave me wondering who you are

 

I know you but I don't know you

Your eyes reveal all I need to know

We thrive on our secrets shared when our eyes meet

It gives you away: I let it take me too

Without the light in your eyes I don't know what i'd do.

 

Your glance is my sanctuary

It holds me and ensures the breath I breathe

 

The holes that you burn with those hungry eyes

Exploit your love and light the fire inside

The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars But in ourselves, that we are underlings.
