Touch me with your eyes In them I can feel all of your strengths and weakness run through me like electricity As I look away I feel your heart sigh with longing or maybe that was just me, maybe my imagination I look behind me for her, but no one is there I dance with insecurities spining me around like an unsure ballerina Fall onto you a fairy tale of a five year old dead Courage to look into you once more and I find your eyes, in the distant trees, not seeing And I don't know how to begin to show you how to return your gaze when your eyes can't forgive my doubt Insecurities spinning, spinning me around like a ballerina Tossing me up into air to no one, no one accidentally? coincidentally? you catch me with your eyes again and my lips can't be still as I try a little too hard to say hello You've saved me from my fall of numbing self-doubt, or have you? and I look behind me for her and no one is there Your eyes beckon me with electric answers and how can I say no? letting go f the ego who directs the insecurities who spin me, dancing, away from you I can let it go, I can let it go When you touch me with your eyes love, is it love when you touch me with your eyes?
Reason for writing:
I wrote this because its impossible for me to believe that it was me he was staring at with his blue eyes. I was sure he was looking past me at some other girl.
If you have any advice, criticism, or comments, I'd love to hear 'em. -Layla
