Into my Eyes

Those eyes
Those eyes just say it all
Thoughts behind the masked apparition
Reasons behind the motivation

I walk so carefree that seem to have no hesitation
But the movement is not without caution
Underneath the joyous disposition
Fear lingers, quite like a potion

Are you the one to sweep me off my feet?
The one who'd be my companion?
Or will you turn on me like a demon,
A monster hiding in the shadows of your person?

Yes, I jest to mask the quivering voice
Yes, I shroud my being with joy
To conceal the fear of pain
To disguise my longing heart
To lead you away and escape from your prying eyes
And ensure that the truth is unrevealed

Should I "give in to Love?"
Should I continue to "live in fear?"
The answer maybe out of reach
Or am I in a forced paralysis?

If only you look into my eyes
See what is there . . .
Reach in and lead me out of the veil of deceit
Because even I, I no longer know the exit
Unable to move from this very moment
As I shy away from your prying eyes
