These Vulnerable Eyes

Times of truth, darkened days
They sashay, sway, parade
Faces, friends, feathers fine
Shadows once embraced in mine

It happens to those with eyes awake
For love it happens all the time
The pain burns with lessons learned
The wound will close, the scar reminds

I'm too lazy for jealousy
I make love to tragedy
I've bled for success
Prefer the failure, and be blessed

It happens to those with eyes awake
For love it happens all the time
The pain burns with lessons learned
The wound will close, the scar reminds

In the heart a guardian stands
There was a child with love in her hand
That child taken childish revenge
Bowing out is not an end
Down inside my faithful solitude
Ensconced in a wondrous beautitude

It happens to those with eyes awake
For love it happens all the time
The pain burns with lessons learned
The wound will close, the scar reminds
