Those eyes


It’s in those eyes

The way they stay at me

Challenging, demanding

Empowering me

 

In those eyes I recognize

Someone behind those eyes

Begging to be seen

Dying to be set free

 

Those eyes

They tell me all I need to know

And leave me begging for more

Of what is behind those eyes

 

They show as much as they see

They dare me, implore me

To find out more about

Who’s behind those eyes
