Eyes

Last time I fell into love
like an accident on a black dark bridge
all rushing cars and broken bones
sirens and down the road

last time I settled into love
eventuality of time's ravage
society of expectations
a wool blanket against the cold

Last time I was here
eyes closed, shut tight
still like prey, like statues
unmoving in the night

This time
I shall step into the light
eyes open like stars
and I shall see the world

    Beautiful, Divya. I especially love the last stanza. I don't really understand the line 'society of expectations'. Can you explain it to me?

      well, kinda how society hates the idea of people being single, like there's something wrong with them. Does that make sense?

    Love (not mine, I know),
    words spoke into the fetter of times,
    dusky glows, small rhymes.

    Do step into the light,
    sparkle the lance-a-lot winds
    and dazzle without end.

    Your prince, his princess,
    pleasure in this adventure.
