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
