Coffee cup Ring on the table Fan barely turning Air heavy Unstable She looks up Time slows Then slides Room starts melting In the heat of her eyes Heat in her eyes Soft as a summer storm Heat in her eyes Pulls me in Keeps me warm Heat in her eyes Everything else just sighs I forget my name In the heat of her eyes Bare feet Tapping the floor Curtain breathes in Then back to the door She laughs And the silence replies Walls grow closer To the heat of her eyes I reach for my glass Miss by an inch She watches me flinch Then smiles Slow and shy One little glance And all my defense Turns thin as paper Set on fire
