Blind Eyes

I see your face in the clouds
A dream drifting among the crowd
You smiled at me so innocently
And captured me tenderly
How was I to notice the beginning?
My heart slowly giving in
Each smile lights up the dark
And hides behind my stone heart
Slowly infecting it’s sweetest sin
Leaving my heart alone again

Is this what you crave
Like a bird locked inside a cage
Do you see the pain in tired eyes…
Or do you misread a smiles lies?
Do your touches feel my resignation?
Do they sense my creeping hesitation?
Too close for comfort in my skin
Too close to the heart within

Close my eyes
See with pure light
You will never see
The heart held within me
The corner to the right
Hidden from plain sight
That holds your smiles
Like a precious child
Laughing in the sun kiss shadows
Collapsing in the warmth filled meadows

Memories a lasting relief
Giving me faith to believe
That one day your blind eyes will see
The one true love you missed was me
