What I Wanted To Hear

When I looked into your eyes

I no longer seen the tears,

Turned your head and walked away

My eyes filled with fears.

You walked away

My heart suddenly broken,

Torn apart into pieces

With the very words that were spoken.

The look in your eyes

Told me you did not receive,

A word I had to say

Maybe your did not believe.

I confessed my heart

Along with love and care,

You told me loved me

As if it were what I wanted to hear!
