blue eyes.

there’s so much cliche

around eyes like yours.

there’s a million stories,

a million comparisons,

every single one to

the ocean,

the sky.

i hate to become the author

of another commonplace cliche,

but my god,

i’ve drowned in them.

they really are like the ocean.

they dragged me in like the tide,

sucking me into the depths

of your soul.

the gaze that washes over

from the calming blue

is enough to erode any walls

i had ever tried to build.

all it took

was one single glance,

one moment of contact,

because my god...

i fell in love with

your blue eyes.
