This is bad but it's my first real attempt at poetry. So try to enjoy...?

His sad green eyes
pull me in,
reminding me of bluer skies
and brighter days.

He watches me,
those eyes mesmerizing,
and I want to be
whatever he needs.

I want to hold him close,
take away his pain
and be the one he loves most
but I can't, I don't.

'Cause there she stands,
right between us,
tying his hands
behind his back.

But it's not really her,
it's the memories,
the long lost moments that deter
his recovery.

She still owns his heart
And all I can do is wish
she'd let him fall apart,
then leave him be.
He's better off without her,
He's better here with me.
