Her eyes pull like a stormy sea
A stunning beauty stealing breath
Knees go weak when locking sight
Makes rooms seem brighter, eyes of her
Swirling pools that seduce and claim
Is this why Perseus used their shield?
Fearing the fate unreflected eyes held
I have become like stone to all other
Nothing can break the hold, the grasp
Of those glistening, sea storm eyes of her
Turning like Eurydice on that fateful walk
Deep down knowing you shouldnโt, mustn't
Content to doom your own fate in those orbs
Heart cursed and sealed by that wilful gaze
To know no other, want no other, see no other
I would smile gladly crossing the dark Styx
If only I saw, just once more, the eyes of her

Why Wicked: For Good is Undeservingly the โworse movieโ
Soโฆ off the bat, weโre about to delve into something ridiculous. Just so weโre clear on that, ok? The first thing anyone that knows a thing about these dual moviesโฆ knowsโฆ is the original movie and sequel were shot together.
