His eyes were quite the commodity
A dark history
Cursed family
They were a demonic red
That peered into your soul
She had to admit, they were stunning
Beautiful but deadly
She didn't know how often that happened
Rarely
One look and they had you panting like a dog
Perspiring on your brow
Most wouldn't live to see it twice
Most don't
They fit his face like a puzzle piece
Red and black, hand in hand
It fit his face so perfectly
It was almost disturbing
But
He would have figured it out by now
That it didn't take those deliciously red eyes to make her restless
She knew his eyes were beautiful…
But it wasn't red that captured her gaze
Black
She could have stared at him for a lifetime
With his smoldering gaze
He could make her knees give way
And the heat rise to her cheeks
She had trouble looking away
Come closer
Eyes the color of the night sky
Full and mysterious
Bit in the light
A soft gray
Unknown thoughts lurked behind those depths
She would have killed to know what he was thinking
And it drove her up the wall
That she didn't
But she was determined
And sometimes, just a little bit
She knew
And understood him
Sometimes she was the only one who could
She loved red
It was the magnificence of a sunset
It was a smooth peel of an apple
It was the crimson of her shirt
But she knew
That something she loved more than red
Was black.
