Eyes of a Stranger
Eyes of the clearest, sapphire blue
To look to them brings strength renewed
So familiar to me yet so strange all in one
Her eyes that screamed out that she wanted some fun
As if she was caged in her paradise of flowers
As if her prophetic dreams held so little power
Those eyes of hers, they kept me strong
Though seven years are sadly gone
Her eyes stayed with me through and through
That innocent look and her smile, too
For her now I search the world, though
For she disappeared so long ago
Yet now I see eyes of a ruby red
Their mysterious glow dances in my head
Though different from hers as red is to blue
The same feeling I get from those eyes I once knew
Rests strangely in his ruby stare
The same, yet so different, from her sapphire glare
Confusion ensues
As I try to pursue
The mystery of their eyes
No matter how hard I try
Maybe I'll never know why they seem the same
Maybe I'll never be able to shake the blame
Of why she was gone and now he is here
It's my fault she's had to wait all of these years
And maybe those ruby eyes are one and the same
As the eyes of the princess who brought me to shame
