your eyes held the world
the best and worst parts of heaven and hell
tiny fragments of the universe
stolen stars from the sky
robbed earth of it’s oceans
filling them with passion and pain and secrets
and when I held your stare for the first time
two extraordinarily beautiful eyes
dipped in liquid gold consumed my own
and I knew then, in that moment,
that they were two bullet holes
that had left a small glimpse of a secret world
that had so helplessly captured mine
