Eyes hide and Lips lie

Eyes like the mysterious new moon
Hiding all the things you don’t want me to see
All those fears, those doubts
All your true feelings about me

Those eyes hold a secret
Hidden well by your lips’ words
Those soft, loving, tender lips
That just can’t bear to make me hurt

I see it every time, yes love, I do
Those eyes plead me to look
Look deeper, deeper
If only you’d let me look

But instead your hands intervene
Distracting me from your silent ailment
Closing your eyes, they take over
I can’t focus, I can’t resist

Quietly you sleep, dreaming of words left unsaid
I watch you breathe shallow breaths
Maybe tomorrow you’ll trust me enough
To tell me all that’s unsaid.
