Shadow Eyes [Poems]

Oval in design--
how you watch me live.
Behind every corner
of your mind lies
another secret yet to
be told. Well here
I lie listening to your
heart...help me
decipher its motives
help me decode
each deathly beat.

I've only known you
for days..but your
eyes hold a century
worth of pain.

Teach me the ways of a
lover so that I may know
what it's like to feel
such despair. Break me
into the pieces you are before
me now. Bring me to your
level...I beg to understand.

You were meant to see
life through the eyes
of the living...not a shadow.
