Best Poems Written by Bayan Laym

Look Closely

Look at me
At my green eyes and my blonde hair
I'm beautiful
Aren't I?

Look closer
Look at my face
Revolutionised to your likings
To your expectations

You like blue
So I sealed my green eyes away in a case file
A homicide that will never be solved
A cold case you will forget about
But will always linger on my mind like brain freeze

You like brown
So I drenched my hair in crude oil
And soil from your garden
And coffee from your kitchen

Look closely

That I do
As I watch your head turn away
Your presence fade away
And my blue eyes and brown hair

Remain
