Floating

In your eyes I saw a cross section of myself and knew, you knew my secrets, but my mask was unyielding under your passionate pleas for true openness. I flapped you away like a mother goose, ignored the hurt in your amber irises and prayed you wouldn't pour me out your blissful lips.

your half-shut eyes look at me clearer and closer than anybodies wide open eyes have before. Your pupils scan like an x-ray and your quiet observation prevailed over others loud blunt looks. How you saw through opaque eyes, I still can't figure out.

 

you promised the world was all ours, the stars would fall to our open palms and we could swim the ocean. All that fell was rain, and me, in love with you.

You never just teach me to swim, I sink.
