your eyes

Your eyes I look deep into them as if I'm looking Into the deepest depths of the ocean And the slightest change of your emotion Is like a fish flitting quickly about And it reveals itself only for me to see But now Something has changed Your eyes Burn me and wreck me and break me apart I look into them and see not love But only the darkness seen from far above By other people not inside your soul's sea And the distance slowly breaks my heart And now again Something has changed Your eyes Invite me in their depths now fully opened They reveal me the breadth of your thoughts And I see the beautiful ocean’s deep as I ought I reside for a moment in this blissful peace Then I realize the fish are no longer swimming in Your eyes Empty now Gazing back up at me
