Rock Pool Eyes
December 7, 2020
their eyes
like rock pools,
not quite like
the oceans,
or the seas,
but still enough
to make me
drown.
sharp,
soulful,
as if
full of thought.
eyes
are the window
of the soul,
after all.
when their eyes
met mine,
and their stare
matched mine,
i knew,
instantly.
some stories
are best told
without
words,
some things
are best left
unheard.

This poem was inspired by my ex-significant other's gray-blue eyes. We broke up about 2 weeks ago, we have decided to stay friends. They had many stories, especially ones that were hard for them to tell.
Writing poetry was a way for me to cope with the loss of a relationship, but the beginning of a new, platonic one.
