Those eyes, those eyes Oh how I do despise This final straw The inexorable draw To where my reflection lies Once again, trapped within Somehow stretched too thin All the more consumed As one who is exhumed With each thought maudlin Burning me, burning me Through these in which you see Fair though they are That, and much more, Those eyes where I long to be The pain, the pain That they enflame In spellbound duress For I cannot possess That which they contain To hold through the cold Those eyes burn my soul I stand and endure it To confess my secret As words of love unfold |

very heart-wrenching PK. . . you've pulled out the emotions here well. . . ----------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
