“August 2nd

Blue eyes, blue eyes, blue eyes of lies

They say you know me, but I’m only seeing

Blue eyes of lies

I swam through the depths,

No longer embraced in oceans of you

As my own tears filled up enough

To drown me more gracefully.

The tears washed me away, beyond myself

City air is suffocating, fingertips are demonstrating

Your smile used to save me

Strange how teeth turn to daggers

As soon as you say my name

It all seems so black and white in your words

Oh so grey in actions.

You know all the simple words you said

Meant less than you say they did

If you want to me to see the truth

I can’t read your lips

Recite to me all those faithful lines

You practiced in the mirror sometimes

I’m only seeing blue eyes of lies.

Later when you call me, and you will

I won’t answer, I’ll love you still

My troubled mind needs discipline”
