I Wish I Had Eyes in My Heart
- July 19, 2017
I'm a lonely wayfarer
Pregnant with dreams
I've a heavy hunchback
Of large wings waiting to break forth
That I may soar over the glades of time
But when over my weary years I ponder
I feel the rivers of my tears breaking its boundaries
The pangs of regret flood my brokenness
And I wish I'd trusted less lies
I love the eyes in my head
But I wish I had some in my heart
So I can see the traitors
The deception in their smiles
The hatred in their love
The death in there hugs
The pit buried in the sand of their smile
The agony of the past
Is sometimes fake friends or friendly enemies
Not too many down here knows who to trust
So when the twilight hide the sun
We just end up trusting no one
