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,
Siddartha

Beautiful write, full of sadness and longing. It is so hard to let go, even though we know it's the right thing to do.

It is expressive and emotional. A good combination for poems meant to tug at people's heartstrings. The descriptive way you've written it calls for praise. Well done.

[George Love]

Well done

[Star-Runner]

[JC Fox]

Awesome poem, LOL I believe I have prettier eyes! (ok so I wanted to be a little vain) but one way love sucks, well love sucks, great job

Nicely done Nico

[Kevin Galbreath]

I think we've all been there and looked back going "what did I see in her, this is the one"

But those heady moments of love/obsession were the few when we were really alive.

It was very well done and you'll find lots of people that can associate with it.

Look forward to seeing more of you work.

It's been said, by me and others, the only truth showing in the eyes of others is our perfect reflection looking back. I said it this way: "I couldn't actually see her eyes. I looked; my reflection looked back. She had terrible eyes." (http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/KarlKlein/216753/) That puts an interesting spin on "The eyes are windows to the soul" huh?

But enough about me. I think it was Erica Jong who said: Women are the only exploited group in history to have been idealized into powerlessness.

I can applicate this poem, having been sick in love with woman all my life.

Your poem is heartfelt, expressing a yawning deeper than the words take us.

Well done.

that never captured you, - Great line!
