Eyes- Kelsey Berrier

If only my eyes could tell my story
I would not have to be here
Wishing for you
With every ounce of my body
I could be surrounded
By you
Wrapped up in your loving arms
Holding me
In a way my eyes cannot hold yours
Keep you captive
Spellbound
I have no spell
Only eyes that cannot speak
To you
Eyes that are missing a critical connection
To my heart
That long to long for you
That can only imagine the ability
To convey all of my love to you
In a single glance
Because mine cannot
They do not burn
With the raw intensity of lust
Nor melt
From the unmistakable warmth of care
My eyes know none of these
No, my eyes show only the
Extreme sadness
That comes from
A broken heart
Trying to repair itself
And getting so close
Only to be shattered
One more time.
