    Just Stare
    If I look into your eyes
    Just stare
    If I don’t look anywhere else
    Just stare
    If I concentrate
    Just stare
    If I forget
    Just stare
    If I don’t think
    Just stare
    If I pretend
    Just stare
    If I
    Just stare
    Maybe something will change
    Because when I
    Just stare
    I dissolve
    Into the deep blue
    Deep blue
    Blue
    And I can’t remember
    How much pain
    That I am hiding
    Behind the mask
    The one that smiles
    When you walk in the door
    The one that flirts and giggles
    When you tease me
    The one that asks you for a ride home
    And smiles coyly
    When you ask if it’s
    “Just a ride home?”
    The one that laughs
    While we try to find back roads
    And the one that is
    “Just fine.”
    All the time
    So I’ll
    Just stare
    And then maybe
    You’ll think
    That my eyes are just watering
    Maybe you’ll think that
    I’m just fine
    Maybe
    But I hope not
    I hope that you figure it all out
    And I hope it hurts you
    As much as it hurts me
    But for now I’ll
    Just stare
    Because I don't know what else to do

    This is very good, i understand what you feel, and you did a good job at putting it into words. I feel like this is somethigns everyone can relate to. Good Job!

    This is great. Good rhythm, and love the topic. So true. I'd have given it a 15-20-but well, maybe that would be too many feathers to stare at!

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
