My Crying Eyes
My Irish eyes
They cry for you
All through the night
And day for you
For times we had
And those never been
For what I’ve seen
And what could not be
Oh love
My heart
It breaks apart
I can not bare
This acid dart
The blackness swirls above my head
It comes for me with acrid dread
I ache with shivers not of love
But hurt and longing for my one
My soul it pains my entire self
You laid me bare upon this shelf
I only wanted to be true
I hoped one day to be with you
Though now the words have left your tongue
You screamed at me “you’re not the one”
How can I survive in this vile place
When half my heart must be replaced
The blackness comes yet once again
To take me where I’ve never been
Do I go, give up the fight
Does it matter, do I have the might
How did you think you had the right
To say such things that forge a knife
That penetrates my very core
Until I can feel my blood no more
I’m numb but yet I have a pulse
Suddenly I sense a tiny jolt
I feel you lightly touch my lips
And then embrace me with a kiss
My eyes fly open very wide
You stare at me in loving desire
Realization sets in as I look at you
I can’t believe it wasn’t true
Was just a dream and now it’s through
I find my voice and manage this
Babe I can never live without you
You put your finger to my lips
Shh my love, do not worry so
I love you now, tomorrow and always
You kiss the freckles on my nose
And rub your foot across my toes
I close my eyes and try to breathe
I’m thankful for your love for me
