cherise

I looked into her eyes
expecting a devilish gleam
But i found a haunted vision
i'll meet in some sad dream

I saw eyes that have not known
the mindlessness of love's peace
Eyes that have never closed
in the ecstasy of release

A heart that beats alone
Locked behind a barren fence
Never with that rhythmic echo
A mirrored heart to press against

A spirit that's never breathed
the freedom of pure giving
An ocean of acceptance
No more waiting, finally living

I saw eyes that only know
what it means to calculate
Treat others like a prize or trash
Never to give, only negotiate

So if you want my beating heart ever
or only for a little while
I'm not here to be your judge
I'm here to make you smile
