One Million Eyes

I know how it comes across;

to have thrown these words

so casually across the room,

to have but one lovely smile to base this letter on

when they are so clearly aware

and uninterested.

But I beckon reason from you all.

We simply don't see eye to eye

because the eye from me

sees a million eyes,

and of those million eyes, but one sees me

and the other looks away.

Be sure I don't know whose eyes they are,

but my eyes have seen beauty.

Through those I find these words,

carefully picked from inspiration

and allow myself to feel

what those eyes would see.
