Restless Heart & Tearful Eyes

Wistful thoughts evoking illuminating smiles

Progressing willfully through the edge

Yet I sink down to the deepest, darkest bottom

And find it hard to reach the edge.

I regret whatever has become

For I’m someone who is very needy

And though the light of joy shines occasionally

The devil manages to ensnare me with his lures.

I wish it had never happened

For now all I’m left with is tears

For you no longer seem to care

And I no longer wish to stay.

Somehow somewhere I missed a step

Lost my sight and feigned a slip

Though I expected a call of rescue

All I received was silence and more silence.

As I evoke all my strength

And walk away with my wound all bare

I still wonder every starlit night

Why you’d never made it to my side.

I am compelled to oblige to thy whim

I am forced to apologize through thick and thin

And through these dark and dusky woods

I oblige, I oblige, I oblige.

Forgive me for my thoughtless stray

For I never meant it to be that way

And as I leave I shed one final tear

Along with a smile and some fear.
