Within Her Eyes
Looking into her eyes
Reminds me of all the times I looked into yours
I can’t believe she belongs to you
Mesmerized by her
I can’t take my eyes away
Fascinated by her every move
Intrigued by her infectious laugh
Pieces of you in her are so visible
From her stubbornness
To her smile
And I just can’t
Can’t grasp the fact you had a life before me
Without me
Selfish of me I know
It kills me to think you were happy before you found me
I must admit the bond that connects you to her mother
Scares me
I think about all the what ifs
And all the possibilities
I think about the life I have come to know
Could disappear
Within an instant
And even though you try to calm my fears
They still remain
They still silently haunt me
I wish I could tell you about my doubts
But I wouldn’t want to seem insecure
I would feel way too vulnerable
Way too defeated
The more you tell me not to worry
The more I do
I can’t help but think about the family you once had
And how can I compete?
With years? With time?
So are the ties that link us together, really the ties that bind?
