Blue Eyes


Blue Eyes you look so lonely over there
I have to say it’s hard not to stare
It’s hard to believe inside there’s such sorrow
And the possibility there will not be tomorrow

There are mysteries there I would very much like to solve
There were sins committed that have no absolve
I’d like to bring us together,
Back to the way things were
I think I could fix this,
I ask you just give me time for this to occur

Heaven is nothing without me in your arms
Without you, there’s no protection to keep me from harm
It’s not real, Blue Eyes, and it’s impossible to tell
The difference between real and faerie-tale

I wish I could hold you by your warm, loving hands
And pretend that we can be, as much as two lovers can
But I’d be lying, oh how I would lie
We can’t be, we’re not real
Not you, nor I
We can’t make it through this, we shant even try

Still, I’d travel to the edge of the world for you
I’d clear away darkness and shine Heaven’s light on you
It would be bright and warm,
But I failed you, and you left me torn

I still love you, Blue Eyes, though it pains me to admit
That I could still love a cretin, a Bloody Little Twit
We failed, and the darkness that remained
Was cleared not by me,
Oh, no, not me
But by another you had gained

And now you’re back,
But we’re still so far away
For I know now,
Much to my dismay

She’ll carry the torch for you, dearest Blue Eyes
She’ll be the one to lead you to the light
Dearest Blue Eyes, I won’t be alright

Dearest, I'm So Sorry

When I look back on us, I realise that I was never what you wanted. I was just there. And you, you were just bored.

"He" - An Ode To Catullus, From His Darling Clodia

My dearest he
He as in you
You as in we
We as in us
Him, not at all blind to how I feel
But envious of a treasure now gone


I shall do anything for that love,
That gold I possess
Hearing his words, all about me
It brightens my day
His words, a labyrinth to the rest
For only I know the way,
The way to his heart


My darling he
He as in you
You, with me
With my sparrow now gone
There is nothing in your way
There is just he
He as in you
You as in we


You, 
Me,
We,
Us.

We Have Got To Get This Right

I haven't had an easy life, so excuse me
Love can't be this easy
Where's the screaming and the yelling?
The cursing and the heartache?
Love isn't this easy
Yet it's so easy with you?
I'm not scared, not like I used to be
But I'm afraid I must warn you
I'm a monster, and I will destroy us.

Closer Yet Farther Away

I've moved on
Right?
I'm in love
That, I know
But there's this feeling
Nagging me
Memories of you
Sad, sweet memories of you
Days where I made you happy
Days where you loved me
Days that are no more


Now you've wrecked me
Doomed me to suspect that
He will hurt me
The way you stabbed my heart
After making me believe
That you still loved me
But you lied to me
Over and over
And now you're lying to yourself
Because we're dead and gone


Now I'm over you
And yet,
You're here
In my head
And yet,
Never in my heart
No, my love,
Never
Ever
Again.


Goodbye.
