Say You Love Me

My eyes hold the truth I have been longing to tell

Brown pools of dreams, fears, and realities

If I asked you a question about them,

Could you answer it?

Are they gleaming with desire and new ideas?

Or blurred by puddles of salt,

holding strong lest a tear may drop?

Tell me, please

For once I need to believe that you see

Past the surface of it all

I fear my eyes are only shut tight,

simply dreaming of this moment

Fancying the idea that you may have a clue

Yes, only a dream of mine

Because I know you don’t see me any how

It’s the mirror that knows

Exposing the truth behind every gaze,

Exposing my soul in the silence

It knows my heart and all it carries

Every story hidden within

And the reality of it all is

For ages you’ve been looking at me,

But your eyes don’t reveal anything

You can’t feel what my soul is made of

You’ll never know me deep enough
