Unseen
I look to those beautiful eyes
Knowing they can carry me to lands I’ve never imagined traveled
In those eyes i find fear
Sometimes inadequacy in myself
And others i see mirrored emotions so clearly
She is me with those eyes yet she’s blindly unaware
I look for hope, dreams and all the beautiful ambitions that were once a part of me
Too afraid to say i may have lost that piece of my soul
So i silently beg her to restore me
Tilt my head and gaze
In awe as if im a part of something
Me
As if im a part of someone
And with eyes so wide, she fails to see the best of me
Fallen emotions have touched my face out of fear that those eyes will never recognize
ME
Though i do not blame them
Showing her nothing but the coward in me
In my own insecurities I’ve hidden myself
I’ve visited those eyes maybe once
Twice
Or two lifetimes before
And I’m still looked past without familiarity
She won’t seek me
Bc her eyes won’t find the love she think she wants
Even if I know it resides in me
Scars of pain won’t let me push
Pride won’t allow me to reveal
That I’m here
Grasping to be that glimpse
Wanting to be that glare
I just want to be seen
