Sleepy Eyes
Longing Amidst Time Zones
Lyrics
I took a picture of my
I captured an image of
Window’s view
What I see from my window
Of the overcast
Depicting the cloudy
Midsummer gloom
Darkness of midsummer
And you write back
You respond by saying
“Oh god I just
Expressing your love for
Love days like that”
Such melancholic days
We started talking again
We reconnect and converse
Like we used to
Resuming our past discussions
On messenger
Through the messenger app
Before I had moved
Recalling times before my relocation
But the timezone
Yet the time zone difference
Difference won’t let
Creates a barrier preventing
Conversation
Smooth conversation flow
Flow
My tired eyes
My sleepy eyes
Attempt to mend things
Are trying to
Striving for reconciliation
Make this right with you
But tired eyes alone
But sleepy eyes
Aren't sufficient
Just aren’t enough
To sustain a relationship
To hold together love
Messages gradually
Soon our messages grow
Drift apart
Farther apart
And inevitably
And sure enough
Weeks transform into months
Weeks turn to months
Tragically
Tragically
Some connections
I guess some things
Aren't destined to last
Just aren’t meant to be
My weary eyes
My sleepy eyes
Strive once more
Are trying to
To make amends with you
Make this right with you
Yet tired eyes alone
But sleepy eyes
Can't sustain love
Just aren’t enough
My fatigued eyes
To hold together love
Struggle to preserve
My sleepy eyes
Once again attempting
Are trying to
To mend things with you
Make this right with you
Yet tired eyes alone
But sleepy eyes
Can't uphold love
Just aren’t enough
Insufficient to sustain
To hold together love
A relationship
