Hidden From Your Gaze

Your gaze I learnt to avoid

That one I could not stand

The fire that it always holds

Could easily melt my heart

And creep inside of me

To break my walls down

Till it manages to consume

Even my heart’s fallow ground.

But, no, I won’t let it

Not even now, my dear

I can hold your hazels’ gaze

But you won’t see a tiny hint

Of what

And how much

You truly mean

To this heart you seek

Now, cautiously concealed.
