He tells me he loves my eyes
He says the colors swirl
Like pools of emerald tides
The green dances with brown
The colors swirling and
Twirling round and round
When he looks into them he gets lost
In their silent exchange
But at what cost?
Does he not see
The rest that there is to see,
Or who I am supposed to be?
I loved him everyday
But it always seemed
He had next to nothing to say
The only complement I gained
Was the one about my eyes;
Gratitude I only feigned
For many moons I cried
Making me feel as though
My self confidence had competely died
Is this all there is to me
The only thing, my eyes,
That he can see
Am I nothing at all
Just a plain or ugly being
Whose only appeal he can always recall
I look in the mirror, pleased with my eyes
But I often ask myself
Is there any other beauty in my ties?
Author notes
This poem was inspired by a series of experiences in my life in the last few years. I've moved on from the pain those situations provoked, but I thought writing it down would finally prove to myself I've moved on.
