Don't Look Away

Don't look away

my heart whispered 

hoping you would see the question in my eyes 

that rises whenever it sees you

Don't look away

and be swayed by the lies 

of the flies that swarm around you

Don't look away 

and just stay

at least my heart would think it has a way

to get to know yours 

behind the doors that you've locked

Don't look away

when I'm trying to portray my feelings 

through my eyes 

that denies wanting to be just friends 

who sends reels 

Don't look far away 

when I'm standing near you

waiting for a cue 

to convey a bouquet of feelings 

that weighs on my heart

which decided to be yours.
