a collection of my own work

jade

A/N: hi :)

｡ﾟ•┈୨♡୧┈•ﾟ｡

when it is fall

and winter brim

the wind oversweeps the tree leaves

red, orange, brown

my eyes dry—fall silent

as i feel to her expressions, lashes swoop

i look for her sweet, downturned smile

when something sure to make her happy

the way i look for the same one

but with wide eyes

when things to both of us

seem odd... embarrassing.

think, youre in an exhibition.

it is your job to look,

look while you hope they dont look back

out of tend or blush

i look away, red

and my stomach twists

if i cant look away quick enough,

"caught you looking"

or if they never did look back

i stared

"wait, you were staring?"

–"i didnt stare back so you could have me for a while"

because eyes are a locket

they spell out what you feel

they lock in light inverted

then they keep whatever sights they can take in

or maybe they were scared to find yours

jade green

bright and shining

under the sun and moon glow

beneath the starspread

or the sky flock

we hold hands, maybe pinkies and rings

to show love where not

but thats just silly

i admire her, her love for a reason

it flows, follows, radiates as she moves

for me—for everybody

her honesty burns, sees right through me

spoils all my surprises as i let them

leak far too early

yet she loves everything all the same
