Eyes Talk [poetry]

Saving You

within her eyes he saw the stars

while she merely saw dull brown

he taught her how to fly

rather than walk upon the ground 

he showed he all the beauty 

that lied in her marks and scars

and all the love that was hiding 

in the folds and creases of her heart

he taped all her pieces back together 

but the tape did not hold

for the shadows in her mind were much stronger

than she had ever told

and all he built came crashing down

crumbled on the bathroom floor

and he ran away from the ruins 

of which he had tried to save before

slowly, piece by piece she fixed herself 

but this time using glue

and in the end the only one

who can save yourself is you
