Her Feverish Eyes

Her feverish eyes,

there was something in them,

something so lost inside,

too much depth,

as if devouring me.

It was tough to hold the gaze,

I couldn’t, not for more than a few seconds.

No, I couldn’t look away either.

I was left in conflict,

were they her eyes, or the end of me?

Then her smile broke my dream,

yet I found myself looking into her feverish eyes again.
