Those Eyes....
Those eyes weren't meant to harm me....
Those eyes were the kind
that tore me apart
By confusing my emotions
and breaking my heart....
Those eyes came pleading
to make me see
That nothing else mattered
but just him and me....
Those eyes tried to take
all I had left
But the thought of giving in
scared me to death....
Those eyes said "I want you"
while his lips said "I love you"
And I was so stupid
to believe they were true....
Those eyes entered my being
and really confused me
Trying to take me
ever so slowly....
Those eyes had caressed me
and whispered my name
Tried to seduce me
again and again....
Those eyes were the window
into his soul
They made me feel needed,
wanted and whole....
Those eyes still roamed
when we weren't together
He didn't really love me
and he would probably never....
Those eyes came to haunt me
long after the time
I told him goodbye ~
he was never really mine....
No, those eyes did harm me...

Again, like "Trust Me....", this poem was written about the man I very nearly became involved with when I was 17. My first experience in the "real world", it was both confusing and beautiful, though hurting me in the end. I was flattered by his interest in me, and he made me feel special and beautiful ~ but he was married. Our intimacy never went beyond holding and kissing each other in the Botanical Gardens during our lunch break, but to me it was the beginning of a different life than I had known. I guess it was a learning experience for me. Still, growing pains do hurt.....(smiles)

Christina, this is so eloquently stated! It truly is a shame that love can't
always be straight forward and joyful, but I think in the end we all learn
that for each heart that has touched ours, our life wouldn't be ours without
what transpired. |
