You hated your eye colour
Called it a dull and ***** brown
Wished for the deep blue of an ocean
Where admirers hearts would drown
And it pained me when I realised
You’d never see it like I do
That I want to read right through
They hold specks of stolen sunlight
That you’d miss with just one glance
And a depth of raw emotion
That can freeze you in a trance
They’re a fix of melted chocolate
When I look into your eyes
The brown of the earths unfettered beauty
That I yearn to memorise
When I was tired of not belonging
They made me feel like I’d been found
