Haunting Eyes

they are as blue as the bluest skies

as deep as the deepest oceans

as intense as the brightest, hottest fires

they lure me in

i dall for the trap

one mistake, too many

i think you're the one

but i'm oh so wrong

i get close to you

i let my guard down

two mistakes, too many

you're in my head

you know what makes me weak

you know what i care about the most

you know me inside and out

long ago, i handed over

the safety of my heart to you

three mistakes too many

i go to the movies

with my two friends

i knock into a couple in makeout mode

while getting to my seat

they break apart,stunned

those same eyes stare up at me

those blue, deep, intense eyes

they're surrounded by darkness

but i see them so clearly

my heart lurches inside my chest

it rips, twists, shreds, and shatters to pieces

all that is left is a hallow space

my whole body is numb

yet i feel as if thousands of needles

are piercing my body

i open my eyes

and look around me

i am in the movie theater bathroom

each one of my arms

is held by a friend

i realize now,

they dragged me here.

my eyes had been closed

but the image was so clear

like i was still there

i blink

the image flashes in my eyes

more numbness enters my muscles

i made too many mistakes

i fell for the trap

i let my guard down

i handed over the safety

of my heart to you

now i suffer for them

i must pay for my mistakes

any darkness will be filled

with the painful sight

of your haunting eyes

Broken hearts are always relived in poetry. Almost as much as love in the moment and everlasting love. I feel for the girl who sees those haunting eyes even when her eyes are closed. Good read.
