Eyeballs

Can I walk around the corner and return
We could play pretend
Perhaps we could say we never met
and you could tell me a different phrase

What if you would tell me a story
Explain to me how your eyes got so empty
When did my eyes get too heavy
For me to carry

Could you carry my eyes
Old them over the sunsets
Take them over the seas
So I could become a part of the places

I never gave ten fingers to god
We don't know what he uses them for
What if he pokes
Dead animals with our fingers

So god is great
That isn't telling me the part
When you cover my hand with yours
The part when you kiss my eyelids

Go to me and I will take your hand
Given to me with your eyeballs in it
Your eyes got an aching desperate need
To see
So I saw
