Let yourself out. Let me in.【POETRY】
Let yourself out. Let me in. Your eyes are like bulletproof glass. They've swallowed their verdant jade irises And yet they clamor to be seen. If I were to peer too close, Or perhaps with too much pumping force, Those eyes would push me away. Just what fear clogs your throat? I know there are words back there. Those jade eyes breathe no oxygen On their own. Behind that bulletproof glass I see that they are starved. Please, let the sun glint their edges. You shout for attention and let no one in, But your jade eyes hold no bubbling malice. Instead they tremble, fear spurned by some smoking anxiety. . . . Are you sure that glass is for protecting me?
