Safe Heart, Transparent Eyes

I see your eyes meet mine,

Pain from the past,

Melts down inside.

But my feelings must hide

Because they’re much too strong.

To have developed like this,

Over, not too long.

But my eyes tell all,

They can’t hide my secrets.

So when mine meet yours,

I know you see it.

For some reason,

You see it all;

The smile in my eyes,

And when I’m about to ball.

From a distance, I admire you

Every time I’m around.

Then make sure to turn my eyes,

So I don’t get clowned.

But it’s starting not to matter,

I don’t care who see’s.

Then I have to check myself,

Because I know me.

I’ll treat you like my man,

Even if you don’t deserve it yet.

Let my heart run crazy,

And in reality I forget.

You don’t know the depths

My love can travel.

I’ve loved so hard

My knees hit gravel.

On a public sidewalk,

My love had no shame.

Many times one-way love,

Had my body feel no pain.

Just burning anguish

In my soul.

Frost bite of the heart,

That made me cold.

So when I tell you, I doubt,

Your words can’t put me at ease.

See where I’m coming from,

Understand me PLEASE!
