darkness has your eyes

a one way romance and trying to let go.....to realize the reality and accepting it is sometimes so very difficult to do.......even if you know you can never have her...and probably never did.......

I've strongly thought about you
I've continuously had you on my mind
I've tried to bring
you back to me...
I imagine bringing you back
to me at any cost

 

I have always kept
bright white lights on
in the fog in order
not to loose each other anymore,
how many useless defenses I've erected
I did not want to succumb to your spell.

 

now that darkness has your eyes
I don't sleep anymore at night
your incredible azzuri eyes
are so beautiful, they bring tears to my eyes
but rarely are they serene.

 

darkness has your eyes
you are the only one
with such beautiful eyes
how will I ever manage
not to look at them anymore...

 

I have loved you
but I have exaggerated
you have captured my whole broken heart
my every breathe was in your hands
you left me hopelessly in despair
and therefore, with a heavy heart

I fill those prairie sands

with anger filled footprints

which you ignore to follow....

 

maybe I should try
to convince myself

that I must forget you,

to take down those fences

that never captured you,

and try to clear my mind of you,

so that the darkness no longer

brings me to those beautiful azzuri eyes......

how will I ever manage
not to have them to admire anymore...

This is a feeling - well expressed - that we can all relate too - one in which only one is truly enamoured with the other or is even willing to give what is necessary to sustain a relationship. A melancholic tune I feel for the narrator of this work. Thank you.
Light,

The sadness here is a work of art. I love the title and the concept that "Darkness Has your Eyes". To me this says that the Mother of the "darkness" has indeed conceived, given birth to and parented the darkness. The darkness actually resembles the one who brought it upon you. You can not be in the darkness without recognizing it's creator. I can feel the intensity in which you have been captured by the eyes. I see them haunting you. Very well done.

The last stanza says it all to me and is definitely my favourite part. Well done. NH

The imagery in this poem is very cool. Everyone's had that feeling of love and loss, but this poem at least adds different dimensions to those feelings - as opposed to wanting the object of the poem back, the narrator of the poem wants the object to go away completely. Very nice. My favorite line: now that darkness has your eyes
I don't sleep anymore at night.

I love that title, and these lines are especially great:

"maybe I should try
to convince myself
that I must forget you,
to take down those fences
that never captured you,"

Awesome!
