Black Eyed and Beautiful

Black eyed delicate beauty
Standing blood red in a field of white
Eyes closed to hide the pain that lies behind
Of all the world's done to you
Embrace that which is within

I stand under the gray of coming rain
Searching for the words to apologize
Your eyes sowed shut
Behind them sorrow pales
The words of beauty I play
A million caught betwixt you and I

My weak apologies dies
Pale the skin your emotions lie inside
Upon myself I tattoo all I would say to you
But the damage came true it's done
Behind your eyes it forever resides

I stand under the gray of coming rain
Searching for the words to apologize
Your eyes sowed shut
Behind them sorrow pales
The words of beauty I play
A million caught betwixt you and I
The sun hidden forever such a crime
Forever the fall before winter contrast
Oh the shame deep inside
Pain behind closed eyes
Hair stained red
From past crimes

I am an atonement illusion
A ghost writing wounded red in white fields
I reap what I sow from this lens I am entombed behind
Images the same as yesterday
Yet the wounds don't pass with time

Delicate are the ways
To apologize for my fields of crime
The suffering your breathing in
From all I've done to you

At long last you've moved past
Tomorrow maybe put to death the pain
Leave behind the sorrow
A breath of fresh air
Red upon white fields
Graced from you
Heartbeat behind black eyes
