A Tale of the Eyes

   by Jeannie Yee Davis

He eyed me for so long

But my eyes to someone else they belonged.

Still his fondness for me over the years, in his eyes I see

But my eyes to someone else they still belonged.

After seeing his lovely smile so sincere it makes me go wild.

His eyes filled with devotion that is genuine

I realize my heart he can easily win.

Finally, my heart he has won for his smile was the key

And now my eyes see only he

But it’s my turn for misery.

He no longer wants me

I guess I took too long and he now knows that

My eyes to someone else they belonged.
