YOUR EYES

As I look into your eyes
I know I can not settle

I will not settle for less
than the full sum of love

I will not settle for your excuses

I will not let you put me on the back burner

I will not let you crush my heart
and break my spirit

I will not let you use my
body for your convenience

I will not let you put others
love ahead of me

I will not let the hope of you becoming who you should be
mask the reality of who you really are

No more false hopes, broken promises and wishful prayers

Today is the day to place me as the top priority

As I look into the mirror
and look into my eyes

I realize that I will not
settle for less again
