Just Met

Just Met
 
As everyone looks I'm so caught starring,
but I can't remove my eyes
I'm so not caring
And then his eyes finally meet mine.
It seemed like forever with every moment passing,
we were unchanged.
I'm glad to know true love exists,
but what would you call this,
if our eyes just met.
For all I know there was this gravitational pull,
connecting the two of us
in this crowded room that felt too full.
I've never felt so speechless and strained for air,
my hearing enlightened me to hear a pin dropping
and blocking out all the rest,
my vision was fixated on this stranger
who I seemed like I knew forever,
my throat felt dry and my heart throbbed in my chest,
my arms felt heavy to all the rest.
And yet our eyes were locked with such a force.

Too Late

Too Late
 
So there's this boy next door who always has a sad face on.
His mom's always yelling and he hates the fact his dad is gone.
There's always bruises on his cheeks and around his eyes,
he wears a ball cap.
I know what he's hiding, I know how he feels,
I've been there to know what he lacks.
Every morning he walks with this girl
and they never talk, they enjoy the silence, together.
 
So he gets up in the morning
and he goes to school to learn
but he can't concentrate from the yelling
and the teacher looks concerned.
So when will his day come,
when he'll move on and won't feel so numb.
 
She can't get up the guts to talk to him
and he's just so blind to see.
They're speechless, both you and me.
One day after he walked me home,
his face didn't leave my mind,
I decided to go see him,
so he wouldn't have to face her alone.
 
So he gets up in the morning
and he goes to school to learn
but he can't concentrate from the yelling
and the teacher looks concerned.
So when will his day come ,
when he'll move on and won't feel so numb.
 
As I walked onto the porch, I saw her on the floor.
My heart raced in my chest,
and I flew through the door.
And at that moment
I was too late,
I saw him lying so helpless there
making his way through heavens gate.
So why is life so unfair,
that evening I was too late,
we were too late.
