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
