Blinked

My favorite feature.
I use to
wink
at the cute ones.
Blue
green
gold
brown
gray
make hazel,
a rainbow.
All the magazines tell you
what eye shadow looks best
with your color
but not mine.
Mine is me.

They gobble up
light
color
shape
and show me the world.
Staring contests
where I know I will win.
I trust them.

The part of me that is the most
bold.
That I always use
waterproof mascara on.
Until the day I knew was safe
from tears
It was the almost perfect day
until
he looked me in the eye
and did not love me.
I blinked
and
for once,
they fell.
