There Was A Girl Whose Eyes I Saw

One
night was I was walking
    I saw a pair of
eyes
Dark Orbs
    suspended in life
   
timeless
And deep
Far looking deep
Flickering like a
candle

Speaking unknown words
Undecipherable of
meaning
    It held
    and kept
 
  and locked
Me away
Transporting me far
   
to where I have always been
But near to where
   
I should have hope to ever be
It closed
   
turned to look elsewhere
I turned
    and closed
to look somewhere
    anywhere but the prison I'm
held to

By dark orbs
Speaking something captivating
 
  yet I don't fully understand
