i can see myself in your eyes

Good thing I'm so handsome.
And your eyes are so clear
internally flawless
but not colorless
Certainly a cut above
as they cut through me
straight to my heart.

Metaphors fall to their knees in my brain
pleading to be used
but I don't feel

no matter how many synapses they cross
no matter how many syllables they bear
no matter how unique their words

that any are worthy
of being compared
to the eyes
that I look into
when I see into your soul.

I can read your mind
and I can feel your heart
but when I see through your eyes
I can see forever
