She blinked her eyes at the sun
Then looked at me, sitting there,
off to one side
I tried to see past those moist,
crystal-blue orbs
But instead, I was hypnotized
and hated myself for it
hated my weakness
she, so young
holding so much power over me
With some regret, with much pain,
I tore my eyes away
from that trance
I got up and walked away
to save myself.
