Of Themselves

They stare at me,
Piercing into my skin.

An unseen depth,
In the appearance of black,
Surrounded by green.

Shining,
Emotion pouring through,
As they look to the sky,
Reflecting the gorgeus blue.

The green sparkles,
A gorgeous glitter
Hiding beneath their depth,
As they turn to face you,
And stare into another set

Of eyes,
Little black holes
Surrounded by brown now.

Full of questions,
These eyes show intrigue,
But are devoid of happiness,
As they stare back into green.

The depth of each pair,
Piercing into the other set.
As they stare into each other,
Seeing but a reflection
Of themselves.
