Resemblance



I mean,
they resemble the color of your eyes;
so pretty.
Your eyes as blue as
the sea I've never witnessed,
and as deep as
 the ocean no one's ever discovered.
I've been drowning my whole life,
but, looking at you
feels like I'm breathing underwater.
And suddenly,
I'm jealous
of the fishes
that get to swim the sea
that resemble your eyes.

About this poem

Sometimes, eyes speak everything. And sometimes we fall for the beauty of eyes. I was looking for an escape and I was drowning from within. But his eyes.... oh his eyes!!
