Eyes

Hazel eyes

Hold up the guise

That hides what's underneath

While he tries

Without surprise

To hold self inflicted grief.

Silver eyes

Young but wise

Have seen far too much

Innocence in them

Her eyes glint like gems

Troubled by her loss of trust.

Chocolate eyes

For the funny guy

Secrets revealed as jokes

What is it that

He's holding back

That makes his heart a stone?

Emerald eyes

Hunt for flies

Down, she knows how to go

Missing the faces

Shaded places

The only love she knows

Aqua eyes

Know the lies

All above have told

Their secrets now

She must keep, how

She resents her need to hold

Charcoal eyes

Towards the skies

Wanting his reward

For stones thrown

And winds blown

His place in the world, alone.
