Eyes

"We should love, not fall in love, because everything that falls gets broken." -Taylor Swift

Eyes of secrets

bones of sorrow

mind with only the hope

of a better tomorrow.

Skin metaphorically bruised and blackened

and a heart made of melted steel

nerve endings only wish

they couldn't feel.

The heart with liquid fire in her veins

merely wishes she could take the reigns

The mind is too boring and slow,

the heart just wants all the secrets to be exposed.

But the bones tell her no,

they are wiser, hardened without being sore

while the heart was originally made of hardened steel,

her decisions have made her into liquid, soft from the score.

It's her dreams, her hopes that have made her suffer

if she hadn't tried, she would never have gone under.

The mind told her better to walk than drown,

but the heart, excited, couldn't hear anyhow.

Now hearing this tale

of what your body is doing to itself,

don't you wish the heart would shut up

and listen to the brain, who is not corrupt?

Well, don't, she is only following what the eyes have shown her,

it's all their fault.

Maybe if they hadn't seen him,

all heart, brain, and bone

wouldn't be broken and shattered on the asphalt below.

Taken there by feet and legs,

who's secrets were too great in charge,

and the fire that ran through them told them dreams were too large

The brain tried to stop them,

but the heart had won,

but it's all the eyes' fault

for falling in love.

This was my favourite stanza, but not by much. It was the most honest definition of falling in love I've read. Especially, "in her dreams, her hopes made her suffer/ if she hadn't tried, she would never have gone under."
Love could not be any truer.
