Look away

Although I try,
To look away,
You make me smile,
and my eyes do stay.
Resting on you,
My eyes do delight,
On your eyes,
sparkling in the light.
Please, spare me the pain,
look away,
and don't speak to me,
because together we can never stay.
People call you a prodigy
people call you a genius,
and I can't live up to that,
I can't live up to all that fuss.
And that's why it's hard to be
us,
because people look at me,
my pink hair, converse and boy's pants
and say, almost suddenly,
"What is SHE doing with HIM?"
Judged in a glance,
Just because I'm unusual,
And because I'm holding your hand,
We are branded unfeasible.
So please look away,
and don't speak again today,
because our love can never stay.
