You
Those eyes
Those beautiful, blue-green eyes.
Smiling, laughing, then
Nothing at all.
At least not towards myself.
A glance,
A wave,
A passing infatuation,
D i s s i p a t i n g
Like the evening sun after a long day;
Like the tumultuous waves
Upon the shores of my beating heart.
I met your gaze,
One thousand emotions behind my eyes
But nothing behind yours.
Why can't I figure You out?
A throbbing pain,
Dull as heartache,
Real as you or I.
A smudge on my hip
Growing to purple,
To blue,
To yellow,
To like it was never there;
Like You were never here;
Like I never loved you
As You never loved me.
The sun rises,
The sun sets,
The earth turns,
The waves still crash.
Yet time stands still
And my heart cannot forget,
Though I try. Believe me,
I try.
Dull as heartache,
Real as the moon.
Never again
Will I be with You.
