Through My Eyes

4/28/17

i want to know what's running inside your head,

but if you love me so

you'll tell me yourself.

you'll see me as someone worthy of your secrets.

you'll trust me with your fears

and hopes i can keep them away,

and i will keep them away- even if it kills me.

even if you're afraid to love me back,

i'd still love you so.

and when you set your gaze on mine

i'd feel special under your stares,

because maybe, just maybe, there's some beauty you saw

even when i'm made of flaws and scars.

and if you introduce me to your mind,

i'd be proud of your stories.

i knew from the start you're this silent storm

and i'd always let you destroy me.

danger is written all over your skin,

as if it was a warning

that if i get too close

i'll find myself in the brim...

and i wonder if you'd reach out  your hand, 

subtly saying

you'd never let me fall-

at least not on my own.

i think about how 

everything seems so 

vulnerable now.

how we're holding unto 

a string that can break anytime.

but what we have here is so

complicated that i think

we're twisted in knots

and there's no way to untie myself

from the mania you created.

there's no way to make my

heart stop,

when you're all that's running

inside my head.

but after all i've been through,

falling in love wouldn't be the 

worst thing now.

you're romanticized by my mind,

a kind of nostalgia through my eyes somehow.

author's note: another work of poetry because you all inspired me from all the love and support  you gave to my previous poem 'fall' 

tell me what you think about this one. some lines were from my old poems back in the days and i incorporated them with new ones.
