Eye Shadow

You force me to look into your aware eyes

They are dark, but catatonia's gone 

You come alive in a whisper, you ask me to light

your burnt cigarette  

Remembering the sweetness we had 

We lost ourselves in a tasteful decadence 

Chasing lost dreams and moments until

we ran into the old church

It reminded us of a childhood we lived too fast 

Becoming adults while still crying for attention 

Weaning off milk and cookies for wine and roses

Feeling the knife of heartbreak but not the cut 

That's where we should be again

Innocent first love 

Raven to turtledove

Fire to match

Blaze to candlelight 

Drop to catch

Let me catch a star that's faint

Make a wish we'll always remember 

And that star will burn

Light a memory that is ember 

As I wipe your tears away 

The eye shadow that you put on

as warpaint against me

and my jealous eyes 

is now beautiful..
