the look in your eyes

you said you didn't care anymore
whatever we had
came and went
but when you saw me
there with him
there was a strange look
in your eyes
and I wish my heart
could tell me
what that look
really meant

today

And then there was today
Today
Today
was the first day in a while
where I realized
I'm OK
I'm OK
I'm starting to be OK

you are an ocean

you are an ocean
and all I want
is to sail the storms
inside of you
places uncharted before
but if you are an ocean
then all I am
is a ship
that you wreck
on the shore

goodbye in your eyes

It was when
you were standing there
looking at me that way
that I finally saw
the goodbye in your eyes
and part of me wishes
I hadn't seen it at all
and all of a sudden
I knew
you weren't mine
anymore
if you ever really were
and I wish I had taken longer
to take you in then
you never said a word
but the goodbye in your eyes
said it all
and made anything
I might have said
to stop you
a waste of breath

only you

It seems really unfair

that you carved out

a spot in my stone heart

and sat in it long enough

to smooth the edges

And then you left

and now there is a hole

perfectly shaped

so only you

can fill it
