How charming

I could have had you
but your green eyes disturbed me;
I won't trust you now.

    Sort of reminded me of the Hunger Games about how the girls in the Capitol couldn't trust Finnick.

    Somehow when i read this and then reflected on the title, it made me think of Prince Charming. I imagine a man who is full of charm, but is in fact what is hiding beneath this thin veil is a self-centered man who preys on the vulnerable. The fact that you saw in his green eyes a disturbing premonition was fortunate. I guess it was a sixth sense - i believe that those who have been abused time and time again gain a sense for those who shouldn't be trusted and once alarm bells chime, there is no trust again.

    Nice poem, Em, as Rayven rightly says, this is emotionally charged. I also know that this is another poem from you that will helps others.

    This is another excellent emotionally charged poem. Often times what attracts us to a person is their eyes because they pop. I believe we notice color more than anything else physically and I believe this is what your poem is about here.

    How charming is an excellent choice for a title because as the reader I take it in two ways. It's sarcastic and I can see you rolling your eyes when you see or think about this person, or perhaps you fell for this person at first because of their eyes and they were very charming but then they turned mean.

    It feels like with the first line into the second, you wanted this person to be in your life until you saw their eyes. I do believe it is deeper than that though. You saw their anger or sadness in their eyes (and soul) and you could tell right away that they would hurt you.

    It tells me as the reader that you have been hurt before because you are cautious around people which leads into the last line. You won't trust anyone until you feel comfortable enough to do so. This had a great story emotional story inside three lines, and that is not something easily done.
