When you left me,
Pain and sorrow you accomplished to bring.
Didn't you even once stop to think,
That you were my all and my everything.
Did you even care at all,
Of the hurt caused by all your lies.
And all the tears that flowed,
From my once bright,
Hazel eyes.
Didn't I show you everyday,
All the love I held for you.
Did you feel any guilt at all,
For the anguish that I went through.
Watching the sun go down,
And waiting for the moon to rise.
That's the love I saw with you,
Through my once bright,
Hazel eyes.
You played with my emotions.
And you lead me to believe.
My dreams with you could come true,
But I was foolish and naïve.
Without a word you walked away,
Was it that easy to break all ties.
And leave sadness behind to dim,
My once bright,
Hazel eyes
I thought that we could make it,
And that everything was fine.
My eyes once sparkled brighter,
Than the stars could ever shine.
In my heart I do believe,
That true love never dies.
The proofs in the tears that fall,
From my once bright,
Hazel eyes.
Darkness over shadows,
My eyes that once shone bright.
My future with you has disappeared,
And no longer is in my sight.
There were no signs that you were leaving,
That I could recognize.
If only you could see how lost I was,
In my once bright,
Hazel eyes.
You took the sunshine with you,
And rain took over its place.
I can't pretend there was no you and me,
That memory I simply can't erase.
You're never coming back,
That fact I now realize.
Loss and heartache still reflect,
In my once bright,
Hazel eyes
The price I paid for loving you,
Was very high indeed.
If hurting me was your only goal,
In that you surely did succeed.
My unhappiness and loneliness,
Was so hard to disguise.
Once you took all the brightness out,
From my once bright,
Hazel eyes.
So often I have wondered,
Where would we be now.
I would have kept you here forever,
If only I had known how.
As time passes by,
Thoughts of you still arise.
At one time there was hope,
In my once bright.
Hazel Eyes
