Braiding a story with words...
All We Can Still Be
Your eyes
They soften steel
They melt the sands
They form the glass
That magnifies
All that I am
Your eyes
Reasons unknown
Why they went cold
Icicles formed
Your weapon of choice
Leaves me alarmed
Your icicles
Take form of knives
To stab my heart
Then melt away
Leaves you the perfect
Getaway
The crime scene…
Our broken dreams
Shards of glass that formed
What could have been
A stab hole where
Was once a seam
No fingerprints
Melted in a stream
With the tears of all
Like you
They evaporate
They’re gone
My eyes
Could never soften steel
But through your glass
That magnifies
Can see our past
And realize
All that we had
Was real
It’s you
It’s you
Who cannot feel
It’s you
It’s you
As hard as steel
But your eyes
They soften steel
So look yourself
In the mirror
To help make you feel
Look through your glass
That magnifies
Then surely you will see…
How in my eyes
You magnify
All that I am
See how it is
How all that I am
It is for you
See all that you are
All we can still be
And if you do
I truly feel
Then you will see
Our love was real
Your eyes
They soften steel
They melt the sands
They form the glass
That magnifies
All that I am
Your eyes
They soften steel
But can they help
Your own eyes see
Help you see
Our love was real
And can they help
Your own eyes see
Help magnify
How we are meant to be
Help soften steel
And help you to see
All we can still be
All we can still be
