Risks

By DarkBruce

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Through the corner of my eye I see you staring, But I dare not return even the shortest glance For fear that I would once again fall under your spell, Be reminded of the love we shared, Wish we were again once more. I dare not look--I must not, My lamenting needs to end I need to move on, Leave you in the past, As you deserted me, So long ago. No, I dare not look into Those infinitely deep Black pools, That I once gazed into So fondly. For I know all to well Your eyes alone Can sway my heart. And daring to love you again Is a risk I will not take. Written April 11th, 2002 © on Apr 11 2002 10:53 AM PST   18 • 0 • 10
