I can't look at you
For you are too perfect a sight
With the big sorrowful eyes
That foolishly holds honesty.
I can't look at you
Fearing exposure to that
Enchanting but, gentle smile
That reflects a soul of beauty.
I can't look at you
For you appear like a half-read
And long forgotten fairy tale
Invoking a longing for bygone youth.
I can't look at you
For there is a forbidden warmth
Hidden somewhere in your eyes
That defines a word called Kindness.
I can't look at you
For I am damaged and you are whole
The dangerous opposites
That are meant to stay apart.
