M- Your Eyes
When I close my eyes
I see hers
Sparkling, alive
Beautiful
I stare
I apologize
I comment
Your eyes are beautiful
When I close my eyes
I see hers
Twinkling, alive
Like a thousand lights
I stare
Then I close my eyes
To remember
To sear the image
When I close my eyes
I see hers
I’m the silent witness
Wanting to express myself
I stare
My heart is screaming
Silently, without defense
Her eyes melt my heart
When I close my eyes
I see hers
And I wonder
Will I see them again?
