I Opened My Eyes

Lyrics for a song. It actually has a chorus, instead of not having one, like my usual poetry.

I opened my eyes

And walked into the sun,

Just trying to find

My one, true, love!

 

I opened my eyes

And watched the road

For that one, single fork

That would lead me home

 

But that all depended

On the path I took

Open your eyes

And look!

 

I opened my eyes

And walked into the sun.

I hoped to find

My one true love!

 

You brought me to tears

And yet made me laugh

But I went and took

The wrong path.

 

You seemed to be

The right one for me

How wrong I was,

Is what I now can see!

 

I opened my eyes

And walked into the sun!

I just tried to find

My one true love!

 

If I can find her

Just depends

Do I take the straight road

Or the one that bends?

 

I've reached the fork

That might send me home

Or send me to you

Wherever you may roam.

 

This is a tough choice

That I have to make

But which road

Should I take?

 

I woke up this morning

And opened my eyes

I ignored your truths and followed

Your lies.

I'd hoped to find in you

One I could cherish,

Not someone

That might cause me to perish

I truly hoped that you might be

My one, true LOVE!

 

I tore open my heart

And accepted you in

But a ruckus you caused,

It was quite the din.

 

You opted out

Of a loving exchange,

 You create tension

No matter your age

 

I...

Opened my eyes

And walked into the sun,

Just trying to find,

My one true love!

 

This song I write

For only you

The one that loves me

Constant and true.

 

When I meet you,

I'll be elated

Not having you here

Makes me feel overrated

 

I opened my eyes

And walked into the sun,

While hoping to find

My one true love!

 

You have to be out there,

This has to be true

I've been living my life

Waiting for you.

 

I opened my eyes

And walked into the sun,

Just trying to find,

My one true love!

 

Where are you, my dear?

Why can't you be here?

 

Where are you?

I haven't a clue.

I can't seem

To quite find you.

 

I know you're out there,

But I need to know where

 

I opened my eyes

And walked into the sun,

Just trying to find,

My one true love.

 

Being unable to find

You, my dear,

Is my number one,

Biggest fear.

 

Please come to me!

I need you now!

I have to find you

But I don't know how!

 

Come to me!

Come to me!

Just for you,

I...

 

Opened my eyes,

And walked into the sun,

Just trying to find,

My one true love.

 

Goodbye my dear,

Maybe another

Time, place, and person.

A different lover.
