I looked in your eyes and saw my future
Happiness, marriage, children
I looked in your eyes and also saw pain
Disloyalty, distrust, betrayal
You were a burden on my soul
The anchor to my sadness
But it was all hidden behind your beautiful blue eyes
Trapped in its endless oceans
As it seemed all was good on the outside
Behind your bright blue eyes
Because your smell gave me comfort
Your hugs protected me from outer harm
Your laugh brought me peace
And reason to see another day
Yet no one knew
You were what I needed protection from
Because your words pierced me like blades
Entering my skin
Reaching my heart
To the point where letting go
Would hurt too much for me to handle
You made me feel unimportant
Trust had long faded away
You made me feel insecure
Trapped in my own body
Unable to give you that you wanted
But it was all ok
Because once I looked into your eyes again
I was dragged back into your ocean
Trapped forever
Drowning silently
