Your Eyes

There's an invisible force at work on my heart

It gently, silently tears my memories apart -

Bringing each one to the stage of my mind

In a way that is most brutally unkind. 

Like the ocean beating against a cave,

The memories haunt my soul in waves

As if drawn in by the sheer force

Of a moon's gravitational course. 

It seems like ages ago

When we talked and we laughed

The memories are so fine

Until your eyes - 

Your eyes took me by surprise. 

Can we go back for a moment? 

Can we just rewrite time? 

I want to remember, 

But I can't stand to be haunted. 

By that look - 

That look in your eyes. 

You are like a moon

And your eyes are your force

That take my memories

And turn them into a nightmare - 

A beautiful and agonizing nightmare.
