your eyes

You with those seemingly languid eyes
Eyes piercing, boring into my soul
Soul-searching has always been easy
Easy until I drowned in those eyes belonging to you.

I had to arm myself since then
Then I was vulnerable and got lost
Lost in your words, your gestures
Gestures that led me on, gullible as I.

Now I am older and wiser
Wiser not I turned out to be
Be it your eyes or those words
Words that still hold me captive til now.
