Ocher eyes
Bronze tousled hair
With skin so light and ever fair
You fight the monster within
Always fearing you will commit the greatest sin
My throat so filled with blood
Flows like a flood
To my head
Make me blush with what you said.
Me, petite, small
You so lean and tall
I never stop feeling insignificant
Compared to your dancer's gait
How can I compare to you; so godlike?
Even with that ever persistent Mike.
Ocher eyes
Staring off away from everything
Even Alice with her far off visions
Rosalie and her pigheadedness
Jasper adds to make you feel bliss
I lean over to Jess and ask about you
She says, "I thought you knew"
Telling me the gossip she flips her hair
And you suddenly look and stare
At me
Curiosity not anger
That I am now accustomed to see flare
When I rarely dare
To speak my mind and make you mad
Or sad
You always have scared me
But never will I flee
How can I make you see?
Ocher eyes
That make me want
But with my blood and body I taunt
You so
I will never know
The extent of your love
All this hurt
As the blood spills through my shirt
I will never hear my angel again
As I lay numb and dying
I hear my angel's tearless crying
You are the only heaven I want
Ocher eyes
Look at me
You are all I see
When I am in the hospital
Because I took a "fall"
Out a hotel window
While visiting you
But we both know that's not true
I went to save
My mother so dear
When I found out there was nothing to fear
She was safe and I would die for you.
Ocher eyes
Look at me hard
Cold and dull
Nothing at all
Tell me it's an impasse, well fine
It seems I will never truly make you mine
If we cannot be together
As I cry out my pain
It is all in vain I know
For suddenly you whisper my name
And I know you love me
Call the nurse have sedate me
You say my name but all I know is pain
And suddenly I am numb
I want to say one last thing to you
Before the darkness take over soon
For all the pain, love, joy fear and malice
I whisper, "I'm betting on Alice"
