The moment your eyes
Threw arms around my aching heart;
The moment your eyes
Drew colors from a world once dark;
The moment was mine to wrap you up
And say that I love you.
The moment was there
Until the moment fell apart.
The moment your eyes
Caught fire as we danced and swayed;
The moment your eyes
Said "Kiss me" in a warm embrace;
The moment was life
And happenstance and that star-crossed storyline,
Recycled for more moments to be made.
Good news only braces you for bad news.
I know that things are too good to be true.
And how you hope for the best,
Like a heart beats better once outside the chest.
Just please don't ask me if I feel the same.
The moment his eyes
Said everything he'd longed to say;
The moment his eyes
Brought tears to yours as he walked away;
And the moment your
Father packed up and tried to slip out in the night;
The moment it stopped and turned into your plight.
The moment my mind
Said you'd do best to hide away;
The moment the Dark
Came roaring back and called my name;
And the moment It died –
Our love – we said those things we didn't mean;
That moment crushed the things that you believe.
Good news only braces you for bad news.
Now, I know that that was hardly an excuse.
All of the answers are really only brick and mortar
Building up a wall 'tween Me and You.
The moment my eyes
Saw memories in this empty room;
The moment the love
We buried. I want it back.
The moment I tried to speak
You turned and set your gaze on me.
And in the moment your eyes
Hurt mine the way mine hurt you.
