Your Eyes Poem by Za7ra Sulaiman

I've been watching you for what feels like forever now.
There's something about you — I just can't look away.
Those eyes… god, those forest teyes. They pull me in, making me lost.
like waves dragging me under, and I swear I can't breathe sometimes.
The world's burning around me — cities collapsing, skies on fire.
But all I see are those eyes.
Fifteen flares lighting me up from the inside,
and every one of them is you.
It's not fair —
the way you look at me,
the way you see me.
You know exactly how to make me fall apart
just by looking at me like that.
I hate that you make me cry so easily.
I'm scared.
This feels like falling from somewhere way too high
—and I don't even know if there's anything waiting to catch me.
But I keep falling anyway.
Right into your forest eyes.
The world feels blind now
—like nothing makes sense anymore.
But you, you're all I think about.
That mind of yours — sharp, brilliant… diamond.
You were always so careful,
so gentle with time,
but somehow time still took you away.
Left you with all that brilliance, and no one to share it with.
Jus
t you…
—and those damn green eyes.
