eyes of a stranger

there is something about those eyes that kept me chained to this love

for they seemed to be the first that I couldn't see right through

as if rather than a window to your soul

they were a wall. 

they kept me wanting more

kept me chasing you without knowing it

because I simply had to know what you kept behind them

now in your arms,

you tell me things that sound like love

I watch your eyes, 

and the dark depth begins to lighten

but those eyes,

they never let me in. 

I wonder if they ever will.
