Blue
Your eyes aren't blue
But sometimes I feel
They should be

I know
You hate me
God,
I hate you too
But I can't
Stop thinking
How your brown eyes just don't suit you

You'd scoff to hear me say it
Telling me
'Fuck off'
With a look that just doesn't
Match
The warmth
And comfort
Of your unblue eyes

I say this now
Pretending not to know
That the
Moment
You look away from me
You relax
Soften
Opening yourself
Like a
'Welcome home'
And then
Just then
Your brown eyes suit you
