Like Little Specs of Hazel

She whispers that she loves me
But I know it isn’t true
He’s never said I love you
But I hear it in his eyes
Reflected in my blue

So I wonder as your fingers
Trace my cheek
If it was because you smell
As I remember him

If his remnants trace my body
Through your lips
And my soul explodes as if your mouth
Belongs to her
And embers of September

His soul in her eyes shining forward
His voice in her touch
Like the cold December wind that I remember

Now the darkness clutches me
Reminds me what I swore
How the darkness clutches me
And murmurs I’m a whore

Like little specs of hazel
Spun around his eyes
Tears hot like fire
And I cannot tell him why

She whispered that she loved me
But I knew it wasn’t true
He never said I love you
But I hear it in his eyes
Reflected in my blue

Like little specs of hazel
Spun around his eyes
Tears hot like fire
And I cannot tell him why
