If Eyes Could Speak

Blue and yellow; the color contents of the blank page reminding me of marigolds and violets Excuse me, I haven't introduced myself Hello I'm Devon at least that's what it says on my Government paper For see, I'm in class but what the teacher is saying is knocking on the door to my ear but I'm walking out the back door I'm seeking confidence from an unknown source to follow through with the plan within my thoughts but still I stay here in halted stillness Backfire, I'm afraid of the term I'm scared I'm at risk of just getting my hopes up to slip on a block of ice of stupidity If only my eyes could speak then not an ounce of sweat would felt then not an ounce of nervousness would shine through and the way she looks today isn't helping My eyes betray and cannot look away her beauty attracts like bees are magically attracted to honey My stare befalls her accidentally holding significantly If only she could look back and see gaze back and see what I'm having so much trouble to say to understand why I'm so hesitant Alas, I still sit her silently mysterious afraid of the outcome of a risk casting a stare of inquiry while receiving a glance of 'not interested' Alas
