your eyes
i look into your eyes and see everything i have always wanted
but I know when you look into my eyes you see nothing
because I’m broken
when I look into your eyes i see hope
when I look into my heart all i see is dust
because I’m regretful
when I look into your eyes i see a sureness i long for
you could search my eyes forever but i am never sure
because I’m lost
when I look into your eyes i see a dream for the future
my eyes hold only regret for the past
because I’m hopeless
when I look into your eyes i see a fullness
if you looked at me all you would see is empty
because that’s exactly what i am
when I look into your eyes i feel butterflies
when you look at me i bet its nothing like that
because I’m worthless
when I look into your eyes i feel lost in all the wonders
when you look at me you feel lost because there is nothing left to find
because I'm all used up
when I look into your eyes i see strength
when you look at me all you can see is a child trying to stand alone
because I’m weak
when you see me will you ever see what i seen in you?
will I ever be strong enough
sure enough
worth enough
for the effort it takes to make a broken person whole?
