they say his eyes are like the sea,
having difference of depth
different thoughts on different levels
darker, the deeper you go
some say that his eyes are like the moon
reflecting the sun's light
beautiful, round, and celestial;
always there,
staring back at you.
some say his eyes are the most truthful parts about him.
they say eyes don't lie,
the gaze must waver when they lie,
they say.
she says his eyes are dreamy.
the color of the hellfire,
or vibrant as obsidian.
people always tell me,
fall in love with the eyes that you would never tire from looking at.
fall in love with the person that has those eyes.
why do your eyes hold my stare
when you're obviously lying?
I still like you, your lips shaped.
then coming forward with arms stretched.
and enveloping me in safety and warmth.
your eyes were like anyone else's.
they were nothing special,
but the camera of my world.
your eyes didn't mean much to me,
just something i avoided looking at.
it made me nervous,
in a good kind of way.
but over time,
as you started to fray from my grasp,
i looked into the devils of your pupils.
the sin behind it,
the black lies,
mangled with white pure truths.
mixing into a gray
inseparable
that just blackens eventually.
where truths become lies,
you convince yourself that lies are truths;
your eyes staring,
but your thoughts lying.
your eyes were never the moon, nor the sea.
they just said what i wanted to hear,
but never
the quintessence of truths.
