Those Little Eyes

Original Submission by Hansa Saheer

Those little eyes

Seeing those romantic relationships

from the movies,

So did she expect the same from her man!

1000s of Complaints did she raise-

On him,for making her cry,

feel worthless and shattering.

Did he deserve all that?

Yes and No!

Little did she know that,

He was someone else,

Stitched together with her soul

by song lyrics,moonlight

and the smell of lavender!

They've said their goodbyes,

but his eyes won't let her go.

Those little eyes which she falls for,every time.

Those little eyes which no dancing fireflies could compete with!

Those little eyes with which he'd look her and master the art of eye contact!

When he suffers under constant storms and

gets crashed by torrid waves,

She wants him to help!

But he wouldn't let her!

That's maybe why she always wonder,

Why he keeps his eyes shut,when she paints rainbows for him.
