Eyes
With just your eyes
You can crack me
Dismantle, whip and
Smack me
You and your lies
I see your eyes
In between my sheets
The trees’ boughs toss and
The wind blows my wisps of hair
And even then you’re there
With just your eyes
The acid lodges up my throat
I feel the sharp bite
Of secrets, lies and wishes
On my neck and so it itches
I should walk into the ocean
To not look back, I wouldn’t dare
Instead of standing out in the cold
To just stare, and stare
But even in the vast waves
Of ocean beating
Black and infinitely bleeding
I know your eyes are there.
