A Poem About A Girl
Almond eyes
Oh those almond eyes
They’re so calm & I try to be as well
You swarm me
My secrets keep spewing
Keep still my fluttering heart
Butterflies
Spark
Only inches apart & I wonder
How much will this cost?
I wander, miles apart
Stumbling past significant moments
Your perfume on my jacket ever so potent
Might potentially call it
Quit just before you notice me
I hope your eyes gain focus
Please see me for, well…me
Apologies
Personal policy is to bob & weave
Though trust
I fight less with you & more with me
Harsh qualities, self sabotage
I’m afraid that sometimes you get an avatar
My habits tough
Both hands in the cookie jar
Inhale twice & I’m flushed
Mute my rapid heart
Beat it & hush
Shut my patterns up
Scattered & scuffed
I stagger, mistrust
Mastered the bluff
I babble, my tongue tied in a rut
But then…you look up
& I’m peacefully struck
By your gaze & I’m chucked
Out to space & I touch the moon
Crescent phase & I’m swooned
As if I’m the only one in the room
& I forget every past wound
& I allow myself to be consumed
& I can only resume to just…
*sigh*
Look you in the eyes
& realize how lucky am I
That I’m frozen
Surprised, not one word spoken
Entwined emotions
You cry
I cry
We’ve cried
& all of this because you simply look at me
With your beautiful
Almond eyes
