Angry Eyes

Sour mouth breathes life into words like empty husks Angry eyes beat the object of my obsession until he turns away Asks, “If I'm ok?” “I'm fine.” leaning towards him as my eyes glare bodies twisted in my mind She has no hate in her eyes I watch you move towards her You can't see me through the hollow boundaries I've created Angry eyes keep away any threat of getting hurt Passing glimpses hold me together Your eyes make the jagged edge go deeper I feel ripped apart when you look away So I can't be with you I can't be without you I don't know where to go I'm sorry My hellish love I'm not angry with you But at myself For not being someone you love

Tough one, but is he really worthy of you. That's what I say when I get dumped.
