Eyes

Pain filled golden eyes

can hardly understand as

he gets brushed aside.

Just a child

it's not his fault

he didn't turn out that way.

Eyes so full

of innocence and love.

Are you proud

of what you've done to him?

He's hurt -

it's all your fault.

Innocent golden eyes

trusting time

and again.

Move on, little boy

before you're hurt.

Since when did

daddy ever care?

Don't worry, though, it's

not your fault.

Brave gold eyes

wild with pride.

What others think

they see

is not what's

inside.

You and I both

know the sad, sad truth.

Baby love, daddy doesn't

love you,

but I do.

Trusting wide blue eyes

you took away

her faith in what

is good.

I hope that you

are proud.

She can't forgive you,

neither can I.

Gentle blue eyes

so willing to heal.

And gold and blue

and green beside her.

My family

turned out so much

better than yours.

Bule, gold, blue, green.

My love, my heart, my life, my world.

Mine forever,

I am theirs'.

You may not have ever cared,

but they do.

Originally, this started out as just about Zuko's childhood, and how I'll bet my left sock (heheh, Dragonfable joke) that Ozai was an abusive jerk-off. But it turned into sort of a piece between both him and Katara, and railing against Ozai for being a jerk-off. Review, please, since this'll probably be the only poetry I do.
