Looking In Your eyes
Looking into your eyes
I see all of the emotions
that are reflected there.
I see the love and the
pain that is hidden in
the shadows of the
your past and burdening
your present because
you cannot let it go.
Looking in your eyes
I see everything that
you would rather keep
hidden, all of the hope
and love that you
wish to share, but
hide away instead.
Looking into your eyes
I see the devastation
that you know you
cannot cause so instead
you stay silent so
as not to hurt
the one you care
about the most.
Having the hearts of
two in the palm of
your hand and not
knowing what to do
with them, so instead
you try to shelter
them both so as
not to hurt them.
Placing them both
in your pocket and
hiding them both
from the pain of
knowing what is
and what will never be.
Knowing that it is
not something that
will be faced easily.
Looking into your eyes
I see all the emotions
that should be, but
shall never happen.
