Your Eyes Betray You
Shackled to a life I can’t outrun,
I’d change it all if I could.
I’d break these iron chains,
Turn my pain into something needed.
But I can’t and so I keep running,
Chains rattling, weighing me down
And slowing my feet.
I’m not doing anyone any good,
My light shines like a candle in the daytime
With it’s glow disappearing in the sun’s rays.
Why not snuff me out til nightfall
When I can light your way and serve some purpose?
Do you even need me to shine for you?
Maybe you’ve got enough of a glow of your own,
To shed light on the path ahead of you
So you can avoid being too near me.
Would you unlock me from these fetters if you found the key?
And would you hold me if I were afraid
Of the darkness through which we’re passing constantly?
Maybe you’d just walk on by if you saw me on the street,
But your eyes tell me all I need to know.
Your eyes betray you.
