Her Eyes (Us)

She's a dentist, I'm an artist,
I'm in love, but she's with my brother.
He asks me to paint for her,
She thinks it's his, not mine—it hurts.
I hide the way I feel inside,
But her eyes... her eyes...
Her eyes, so expressive, haunting, deep,
I could lose myself in their quiet sea.
Her eyes, a portrait I can't complete,
They pull me under, where I can't breathe.
She tries to care; I’m struck silent,
Her commanding tone feels like lightning.
I love the way her anger flares,
It makes me smile—it's not fair.
But will we ever be? Will we?
Her eyes, so expressive, haunting, deep,
I could lose myself in their quiet sea.
Her eyes, a portrait I can't complete,
They pull me under, where I can't breathe.
I’m trapped in shadows, her light won't see,
A love untold, a stolen dream.
Lines I paint hold pieces of me,
But she’ll never know who they’re meant to be.
Her eyes, so expressive, haunting, deep,
I could lose myself in their quiet sea.
Her eyes, a portrait I can't complete,
They pull me under, where I can't breathe.
Will we ever be?
Will she ever see?
Her eyes... they keep calling me.
