I’m Sorry I Can’t Look In Your Eyes
By Nicole Serra-Gonzalez

I’m sorry I can’t look in your eyes
But it’s like looking at the sun
It’s easier to stare directly at the sun
Though my eyes would blind
It hurts more when my heart melts.

I’m sorry i can’t look your eyes
But i become a slave
To my desires
And i can’t lose control
But i do

I’m sorry i can’t look in your eyes
You use your eyes as mind control
I hear them scream:
TOUCH ME!
KISS ME!
KEEP ME!
YOU WERE MEANT FOR ME!

I’m sorry i can’t look in your eyes
But i can’t survive if i hear your words
I can’t live without my heart
And i must not lose control
I have to think clearly
And I can’t if i look in your eyes.

REVISION


I’m sorry I can’t look into your eyes
It’s more painful than gazing at the fiery sun
It’s easier to stare directly at the sun,
blinding my eyes, scorching my corneas
Your eyes melt my heart with unbearable pain.

I’m sorry I can’t look in your eyes
But weakness falls upon me,
I can’t break free from your chains of slavery
All control is lost
So I look away, praying to regain freedom

I’m sorry I can’t look in your eyes
But my ears hurt from the volume of your eyes
That scream:
TOUCH ME!
KISS ME!
KEEP ME!
YOU WERE MEANT FOR ME!

I’m sorry I can’t look in your eyes.
