Write a poem focusing on eyes.

Tell Me Why

The saying goes “Eyes are the window to the soul” So tell me why when I look into yours I see a field of nothingness The saying goes “An eye for an eye” So tell me why I am left blind while you’re off seeing other people The saying goes “Eyes shout what the lips fear to say” So tell me why your lips yell valiantly at me at every opportunity The saying goes “Worlds change when eyes meet” So tell me why my world is stagnant while yours seems to have just begun The saying goes “Beauty’s in the eye of the beholder” So Tell Me Why after the turmoil you’ve caused I can still see the beauty in you
