Eyes like Christmas
#TheUnrequitedLove
••••••••••
I've never seen you like that,-
Like a flower without it's petals,
Like a night sky without it's moon,
You've mostly been bright
Carrying this undeniably welcoming light
And then, like a switch,-
You turned it off.
It just felt wrong
Like something common became scarce
The absence of your shine left me in the dark,
Strained and scared
You don't know me,
And I don't know you,-
But I feel as if you could,
Just try to watch my clock and learn how I tick
Then you could be the glue that patches up my rips.
I don't know you,
And you don't know me,-
But if you could just open your doors
Then maybe I can make your smiles more real than the ones before.
The boy with the eyes like Christmas
And the girl with nothing but her words,-
Maybe we'd have a connection if we lived in the same world..
For now though,
You sit with your back towards me..
But that's what I expect,-
I mean, you are you
And I am me
We have different lives that cross only once
Only once for me to admire you,
Only once for me to lust.
The ache I feel to just be closer..
I know you wouldn't regret it,-
Open your doors
Just let me in..
