Dark Eyes

Midnight city, neon bleeding through the blinds
You lay back quiet but your dark eyes loud
Mascara running like secrets down your cheeks
Lipstick on my collar, you don’t say it proud

Room full of smoke, but you colder than the winter
Black lace shadows dancing on your skin
Heart so toxic but it taste like liquor
Every time I leave you pull me back in

You whisper slow like you scared of the silence
Fingertips tracing all the scars on my chest
Said you love chaos, you love the violence
Of a broken boy that never really rests

You look at me like I’m heaven and hell
Like you wanna be saved but love the sin
Your dark eyes got a story to tell
About every man you let ruin your skin

You grab my chain and pull me closer
Breath smell like tequila and lies
Say you hate me but your body don’t
Your dark eyes telling me otherwise

Window cracked, hear the sirens sing
City lights flicker on your thighs
You say my name like it’s everything
“Ares…” falling from your dark eyes

You bite your lip when I go quiet
Say you hate when I get in my head
But you love when I move in silence
When I don’t gotta say what I said

Cold heart, but you keep it warmer
Hands shaking when I touch your waist
Said you never felt nothing deeper
Now you addicted to the taste

You sit on my lap, hair in my face
Whisper low like it’s do or die
You say it again, slow with grace
“Ares… don’t leave me tonight”

Dark room but your eyes still shining
Like stars that done fell from the sky
You swear you ain’t into feelings
But you can’t even look me in the eye

We both damaged, we both toxic
Kissing like it’s our last goodbye
Every promise we make we break
Still you crawling back every time

You tell me you love my silence
The way I move, the way I stare
Said my shadow feel like protection
Even though it ain’t really fair

Lip gloss stains on the mirror
You write hearts then cross them out
Say you scared of forever
But you can’t live with the doubt

You call me late when you lonely
Voice shaking but you play it cool
Say you hate how I control you
But you love when I break the rules

Your dark eyes heavy with secrets
Past full of nights you regret
But when you look at me different
It’s like you ain’t done running yet

We don’t talk about feelings
We let the tension speak instead
Your nails down my back leaving marks
Like memories we never said

Outside world don’t know nothing
About the way you hold my face
Like I’m the only thing grounding
In your fast-paced, reckless race

Dark eyes, black heart, red lips
You and me moving too fast
Every time we say it’s over
We already know it won’t last

No sunrise can fix what we are
No daylight can make it right
But in the dark with your eyes on mine
It feels like we winning the fight

You swear you don’t believe in love
But your body don’t know how to lie
And every time you say my name
It’s written deep in your dark eyes.
