Love Poem: Green Eyes

Green Eyes

Emeralds daggers carved out both my eyes 
Leaving me blind, just enough to escape the lies 
‘I wanna be yours’ recites over and over in my mind 
If I looked in yours would it be love I find?

Constant appraisal appears to be your biggest flaw 
You, your vanity and I, entangled in this ménage a tois 
But I cannot describe this feeling when I look at you
A mix of love and hate, the old saying been said to a fair few 

Those eyes melt me as if I was a sugar cube to your coffee 
Your woeful ballads echo through my slumber ever solemnly 
Haunt me in my dreams, awake with the feel of heavy hearted 
Each night I lay there thinking will we finish what we started
My head asks me to leave but my heart protest
That I would pick you above all the rest 
The first glance I knew from the very start 
That it would be you and I, till death do us part
