You hold my tears
In your eyes
That condescends fears
As sacrifice.

Grays turn black for emotion,
And numbness has not a breath
Left to be swallowed by an ocean
That's no longer abyssal in depth.

A heart's always more tearful
Than painted eyes
That are divinely beautiful,
But not as intoxicating as wine.

I fell in love with you,
Not for what I saw in your eyes,
But what was seen through
Tears of sacrifice

For feeling love in a heart
That intoxicates shades of gray
To only be as dark
As pain

Unfelt in so many ways,
But drowned underneath
Waves of blackened grays
That we breathe.

Intoxicating

You hold my tears
In your eyes
That condescends fears
As sacrifice.

Grays turn black for emotion,
And numbness has not a breath
Left to be swallowed by an ocean
That's no longer abyssal in depth.

A heart's always more tearful
Than painted eyes
That are divinely beautiful,
But not as intoxicating as wine.

I fell in love with you,
Not for what I saw in your eyes,
But what was seen through
Tears of sacrifice

For feeling love in a heart
That intoxicates shades of gray
To only be as dark
As pain

Unfelt in so many ways,
But drowned underneath
Waves of blackened grays
That we breathe.
