When you looked into my eyes
Could you see as deep into mine as I could to yours?
Did they drown you?
The same way they drowned my cheeks when I found myself in deep thought of you
Could you study them?
The same way they study all your flawless imperfections
Did they tell a story?
Did you follow the tales they told?
Did they speak softly, or hide anger behind amplified words?
Could you find me?
I was hoping if you stared deep enough .. You would sail through the seas of tears I tried to hold back as you told me you loved me
And the waves wouldn’t crash they would resemble waves of silk velvet
You’d eventually find yourself shipwrecked .. due to a crash into my heart of ice
We could live the titanic together
While I am confident in the thought of my heart going on
While I wait for you drown deeper than all the walls I built to avoid bringing you to the girl I hesitated to claim as myself
Yet still, I was hoping that you’d stumble across her as you sink deeper into my soul
Find her crying while darkness and loneliness comfort her
Because she started a game of hide and seek
And I hoped you’d be the one who cared enough to look for her
Because I tried.. Although, I was never taught how to count to ten
