the reason I stare

the reason I can't take my eyes off of you
is all down to how God stares at a chaotic world in which he cannot touch;
so sinister
so sweet

self destruction and Mother Nature
side by side,
hand in hand.
they're making hatred love

and still the yin and yang balance them so perfectly -
equality in every inch -
Buddha placed them both in your bones
strong enough to break,

he blessed his yang and cursed his yin.
he created you with the intention not imperfectly
to be seen perfectly through soulful eyes,
and that is why I can't take my eyes off of you.
