Brown Eyes
Intensity,
Eyes wander, searching.
Wonder.
Falling, hoping.
Constant choking.
Racing,
Pacing,
Slight risk taking,
Words unspoken,
Hearts been broken.
Scared,
Scarred,
You take my hand,
I just want you to understand.
I'm a mess,
Sharp edges exposed,
Don't need to guess,
That I'm not whole.
I hope to find a way to be,
Okay with what you see.
How could you sit beside me,
Causing butterflies,
No spoken lies,
I can't deny,
I'm falling for your brown eyes.
Eyes wander, searching.
Wonder.
Falling, hoping.
Constant choking.

No spoken lies,
I can't deny,
I'm falling for your brown eyes.

I wrote this for my boyfriend. Poetry has always been a way for me to express myself and sort out some of my emotions and thoughts. I have had a lot of changes these past few months and in that time, this amazing man came into my life and since the day we started talking, he has tried to make me realize a lot of things that I hold and he's trying to show me that it's okay. That I can fall and not be scared. I can trust someone and not worry I will be hurt. I can let him do things for me and not be expected to do anything in return. It's a huge uphill battle, not just for me, but for him and though it's only been a month that we have been official, the months before and now are some of the happiest months I've had in a long time and he's really something special.
