In Your Eyes Poem by Leria Hawkins

In Your Eyes
Date: February 27,2013

How can I trust, what I don't believe
How can I stay, when I've been deceived
Oh Baby I'm afraid, of all that I feel
It all seems so right, but I know it's not real

Baby, how can I love, what I cannot touch
How can I dream, when it's never enough
I've tried to let go, and give up the fight
I know it's not real, but it still seems so right

Day after day, the memories rewind
How can I see, when I choose to be blind
Words are just words, when spoken in vain
Oh why do I cling, to the bits that remain

My mind knows the truth, but my heart can't admit
How can I promise, when you can't commit
There's love in my heart, but it suffers the sting
To the bits that remain, oh, why do I cling

I examine the facts, this cruel twist of fate
How can I smile, when I'm ready to break
Seems, year after year, my life rushes by
How can I love, when you haven't tried

Baby, what is the answer, please show me the way
How can I find tomorrow, when I'm so lost today
So much we have shared, was it all just a lie
How can I bear, what I see in your eyes…
