Wild Eyes

 

When I look into your wild eyes

Sparks ignite and begin to fly

Your beauty, it was such

Mesmerizing, I longed for your touch

The kiss that brushed my lips

Desire flared, I lost my grip

My heart fluttered in its cage

Rising storms in my chest rage

You whisper your love in my ear

I gasp, stricken with awe and fear

Your love left me in a daze

All I have left are few miserable days

Before I depart this dreary world

In my arms you danced and twirled

The love we have known

Will leave you sad and forlorn

Could you continue this journey alone?

How could I ever for your tears atone

When every beat of my heart is a curse

I will leave you with just a verse

To remember me by each passing dawn

A silent prayer, strength to call upon

The memories we lovingly shared

To love so much I never dared

When it’s time to say goodbye

My arms change into wings and fly

Remember only that I now am free

Close the doors and throw away the keys
