Devil in Your Eyes
Folder:
26. Private Romeo (06.10.18)
You start out a comfort, sweet and warm,
Bolstering my spirits, leveling my malaise,
But then, like the others, true to form,
Your head and emotions have a parting of ways.
Is there more to your appearance that underlies
Or do I just bring out the devil in your eyes?
You suddenly change like the ebbing tides,
Altering what I’d taken for granted.
Without notice reality divides,
Vows of yesterday at once recanted.
As I accept the need to sever ties
I know I see the devil in your eyes.
I ponder how it always comes to this,
This juncture where they stop and turn about face.
It’s hard to watch them drop off the abyss,
And did I lead them there? Is it my disgrace?
Then I see you, try to make sense of you once more
As your hands fill your pockets and you face the floor.
You say your goodbyes and a part of me dies.
Will there always be a devil in your eyes?
