wide-eyed and honey brown
innocence that deceives
they can show so much and reveal nothing
and i lie here drowning in saline confusion
you still roseate my world
fingerpainting walls in grayish pink
whispering with your cupid's bow lips
promises of lilac rapture
words rushing to hide
behind the purple shadows
of your fickle unfeeling heart
something this beautiful and disappointing
and i am overcome with yearning
i see you smile
and i see the face i've been trying to unmask
in all my happy ending dreams
still as elusive and unmoved
by my futile chasings
like fluttering gossamer butterflies
fading towards the dawn
diluting by the light of the day
and i stand here bewitched and befuddled
barely able to contain the beating of my heart
like so many silver bells
mingling with the echoes of your sweet voice
and the saccharine promises they fail to sanctify
