His Eyes
Woah
when those eyes meet mine
my brains are scrambled, insides liquified
no, they evaporate completely
butterflies don't live in South America,
they live inside of me
filling me
my stomach, my throat my chest cavity,
choking on hundreds of little monarch wings
breath escapes me
i never knew my heart would jump to escape my body
this is ecstasy
no
this is an affliction
i feel alive, i wanna die
isn't that a contradiction
but when those eyes meet mine
you don't look at me, you see me
you don't exist for power,
you don't exist to live out your wildest dreams,
you don't exist to see better days,
you don't exist for currency,
you exist to love, and to be loved by me
please never stop
