The Eyes

when I look into your eyes
and yes I is I
the craving in mine is reflected
no answers
only an underlying connection
a connection in suppression
a connection in desire
a love waiting to be expressed
a flirt on the tip of the tongue
a smile on the brink of a laugh
a laugh to hide
the truth
a slave to the fear of rejection
I
and yes I is I
keep silent
and so the eyes
the eyes communicate
shameless in their attempts
to unite
two hearts
afraid
to unite
alas the eyes
undermine the tension
ignore the consequences
reject rational reason
the eyes
love
the eyes communicate that the arms
refuse to embrace
the eyes communicate that the lips
refuse to kiss
the eyes communicate that the hearts
refuse to love
excitement frustration pleasure pain
fear
suppression
the eyes
