Haunted Eyes

I look around the room

Your blue eyes catch mine, sending butterflies straight to my stomach, a dagger straight to my heart

Just like in my dreams

        Nightmares

Those eyes I'll always recognize

From countless conversations, endless staring contests, late night facetime calls just to see those eyes

My eyes are locked with yours

Held captive, against my will, no escape

The memories in those eyes are countless, painful, lovely

Im teleported to another time, another place

Months ago when you were mine

Telling me you love me forever with shining eyes

Teleported again

Different time, different place, different feelings

A month ago, when you stopped being mine

This time it was not your eyes shining, but mine

Shining with tears that were racing each other down my cheeks

As your eyes betrayed what you wanted way before your lips could form the words

As I jolt back to the present, i see those same eyes watching me

Still staring into mine… longingly?

The intensity of this stare is killing me slowly and painfully

Killing me while also giving me hope

Hope is a death sentence for sure

I finally look away

Break eye contact

Re break my heart.
