HER EYES

HER EYES ARE THE KEY TO MY HEART

WHEN SHE LOOKS AT ME THEY PIERCE MY BODY LIKE THE SUN PIERCES CREEK WATER ON A BLISTERING SUMMER DAY

AS SHE IS FOCUSED ON SOMETHING I STARE INTO THEM AND BEGIN TO HEAR BIRDS CHIRPING AND CICADAS BUZZING AS IF IM IN THE WOODS ON A MID-JULY TEXAS MORNING

THE TIMES THEY ARE TEARY AND SAD I DROWN INTO THE DEEPEST DARKEST WELL WAITING FOR HER SWEET, HAPPY VOICE TO ALLOW ME TO GASP FOR AIR

WHILE SHE IS RESTING I WATCH HER, ANXIOUSLY WAITING FOR THEM TO OPEN SO I CAN FALL IN LOVE ALL OVER AGAIN

THINKING ABOUT NOT HAVING THEM TO LOOK INTO AS I SAY I LOVE YOU EVERYDAY FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES FEELS LIKE STABBING THROUGH MY CHEST

SEEING THEM SPARKLE AS SHE LAUGHS IS VITAL TO MY HEALTH

HER EYES ARE THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE
