Smiling Eyes (Emiley)
Her eyes smile
every time
she seems
to enjoy herself,
its mesmerizing,
tickles the heart
just to watch,
her laugh,
intoxicating,
better than
the best drug made,
total poison
seeping into
the part of me
I've tried to hide
and not acknowledge.
Her eyes
scream at me
even though
she's not looking my way
and still I stand back
in the shadows,
better to enjoy the presence
than to spoil it
by opening my mouth.
