Your Eyes Poem by Marie Kaiser

I miss the way you look at me
In the beginning the world is so sweet and happy
Your eyes are heavy and warm and embracing
Each kiss is like a bit of honey tasting

Your arms are inviting, attractive and strong
All this only because they fit me along
You wrap me up and the world disappears
So much heat hides the coming years

Because now you look away as my skin turns to ice
Each word you scream at me is another blades slice
I'm in so much pain that I beg for you to kill me
Just to feel your warm hands once more upon me

I beg for your heart to reveal itself now
Heal my own weeping, breaking bow
Make me forget that there was ever a lie
Make this pain leave so I may choose life, not want to die

Your eyes! Please show me that it was honest
That you sincerely meant to keep each promise
That you meant what you said when you told me excuses
That I was the one who was wrong about all the abuses

Let me be insane, for it's an easier fate
Then to look into your eyes only now to see hate
To see distance and fear and anger and pain
But then realize it's my reflection, and that those are tears, not rain
