Behind Blue Eyes

I watch you when you talk,

Hang on every word you say.

I watch as you smile,

And find myself missing your lips.

I watch as your blue eyes twinkle,

Finding myself lost deep in your gaze.

 

I often wonder if you mean

What you say;

If you mean the words

That make my heart skip a beat.

I often wonder if your smile

Is meant for me;

Wonder if it’s one of affection

Or a mocking one.

I often wonder why

Your blue eyes twinkle;

Wonder what goes on

Behind those blue eyes.

 

I find myself believing your words;

Loving your smile

And drowning in your eyes.

I find myself accepting

The love I think I deserve,

Arguing that this is good enough for me.

Now I find myself dying,

Being scorched by your eyes;

Drowning in the deep blue.

 

And still I wonder

What goes on behind your blue eyes…
