A comet in her eyes

 A single gaze from her was capable
Of petrifying us all
She looked across the room
And down the hall
Alone I stood there in the garden
Idly staring at the sky
My eyes caught hers
A comet in here eyes
It struck me as odd
That she caught everyone's attention
Yet she stared at me
A lone figure in a garden
Staring intently
At giants made of carbon
I stared back at her
Unfazed by her fiery gaze
She stared back at me
A strange expression on her face
Sometimes I wonder
What she really meant
It was no more than a simple exchange
I did not bother walk over
At the time I thought she's just another girl
But when I look back all over
I remember that comet in her eyes
Like a pearl, lit in all the dark
In the middle of a crowd it shone
Nothing like anything I was ever shown
I was oblivious
A man lost in the universe
It was a mistake, perhaps
To stargaze and not notice what the universe
Had sent my way
A comet in her eyes
I still think would've made a wish come true
She might be a star
But only comets can cut through
Massive gravitational fields
And gravitate you
I remember wondering often
Who she really was
Behind that little mask of hers
Where the comet flew alone
She could have the world
If she'd spare but a smile
She spoke in few words
Guess that was her style
But I still wonder if
She really was looking at me
Or wondering why I was alone
In the heart of the action
I was on my own
Maybe she liked something she saw
I would never know
I smile and wonder occasionally
And think about this incident sometimes
When a wish flew me by
A comet in her eyes
