Your eyes

A confession of a broken heart falling in love again

When you look into my eyes, I feel you strip me bare,
Your stare holds mine, exposing me beyond repair.
Your gaze is like wildfire burning up my soul,
Spreading from my heart, rushing through my bones.

Your eyes pierce through my thick walls,
Shaking them from their very core,
I want to tremble and fall in your company,
Bare all, because you're so good to me.

When your eyes find mine, everything disappears,
Words seem distant, unnecessary, Oh, but the fears!

With you, my soul is in absolute balance
Yet my head is begging to break the silence.
It hasn't yet forgotten, or it never even learnt,
That a stare like yours, wouldn't change me for the worst.

When I think of you, my heart swells and heats up,
As the void inside fills with the warmth of your love.
I want to tell you so much, what it is I feel for you,
But my heart is breaking because I just cannot do.

The fear in me runs deep, deeper than you know,
My weary mind prevents me from ever letting go.

You've lit up in me, something I long thought extinguished,
It's hard to admit, or to even just think this,
But I'm falling for you, against my every wish.
When your skin touches mine, I feel you caress my heart,
And I hate how much that makes me unfortified.

When you're near, it's hard not to hold you tight,
But when you're far, pieces of me die every night.
Then I see you again, and the pieces are mended to perfection,
You make me feel whole once more,like I've been through resorection!

With every goodbye, I fall apart,
With every kiss, you steal my heart.
I'd happily give it to you, over and over again,
Dreading the day you find a better bargain.

I want you to hold me and tell me it's alright,
That you'll help me through this difficult time.
When you have me in your arms, the world ceases to exist,
Nothing seems important, I'd take a million risks
Just to hold you, let your eyes open up my soul,
And elevate me to highs I've never been before.

You're presence is so reassuring,
It's calm and heart consuming,
It has me willing to be broken down,
Expecting to be shattered, slowly drown.

The fear of pain, and dreading the inevitable is paralysing,
Yet I find myself craving, sacrificing and fantasising,
Because I've never been more gleeful,
Then when your eyes expose my soul.
