Angry Eyes

Sour mouth breathes life into words like empty husks

Angry eyes beat the object of my obsession until he turns away

Asks, “If I'm ok?”

“I'm fine.” 

leaning towards him as my eyes glare

bodies twisted in my mind

She has no hate in her eyes

I watch you move towards her

You can't see me through the hollow boundaries I've created

Angry eyes keep away any threat of getting hurt

Passing glimpses hold me together

Your eyes make the jagged edge go deeper

I feel ripped apart when you look away

So I can't be with you

I can't be without you

I don't know where to go

I'm sorry

My hellish love

I'm not angry with you

But at myself

For not being someone you love
