Your eyes
They captivate me,
One blue and the other green
They show your split personality
The right eye, the blue one,
Shows your innocence and kindness
But the left eye, the green one,
Glowers with jealousy and greed
But even knowing how greedy you are and how easily jealously comes to you
I can’t stay away
Because of your eyes
One a crystal clear pool of blue
The other a sparkling green emerald that any miner would kill to acquire
Those eyes,
Captivating and make me feel secure when you gaze into my plain grey ones
But if the eyes are a gateway into the soul,
You have two instead of one
