Those Pretty Blue Eyes

I saw him standing there

On that field,

His long, shaggy, blonde hair 

One look into Those Pretty Blue Eyes 

And I fell. 


Friday night

The first date

He took me for dinner

He walked me to the back door

He left me with a “goodnight” and a kiss

I gazed into Those Pretty Blue Eyes

And I fell. 


1 Month passed

I was infatuated

Things were so great

We were together all the time

With each look into Those Pretty Blue Eyes

I fell. 


Things started to get hard

So many nights I spent

Wondering, praying

Should I leave? 

But I looked into Those Pretty Blue Eyes

And time after time,

I fell. 


I was hurting

Every insult

Every argument

Every tear shed

I should’ve left

But one look into Those Pretty Blue Eyes

And I fell.

 

He broke me

He tore me apart 

Piece by piece

All the lies

All the deceit

All the wasted time

That boy

Those Pretty Blue Eyes

They broke me

But still

I fell.


Months passed

I no longer wept over him

I no longer spent many sleepless nights

Crying over him

I was okay for once

All the pain was no longer there

I passed him on the street

I took one look into Those Pretty Blue Eyes

And no longer

Did I fall.

This is a piece of poetry I wrote while going through a breakup. I hope this will help people going through a breakup to see that it'll be okay. It'll take time but things get better eventually. This piece was inspired by Chelsea Maldonado's "What They Don't Tell You At Eighteen."
