While your analysis is interesting, I feel I need to clarify the poem. I have come to the point where objective analysis is the healthiest way for me to deal with my relationship with Sean. I believe it is neither bleak nor hostile to recognize a quality in others that simply exists even though it may not be pretty. While at one time I constantly had tear-reddened eyes because of him, I think it is more accurate to describe my eyes as detached from someone who, objectively was unable to love me the way I needed him to. And part of that does come from him being frozen and unable to "pull the trigger" when it came to commitment. An icy stare would indicate that I am still angry and highly invested in the relationship and hoping for a reconciliation, which is not the case.
I may still have insecurities and abandonment issues but thankfully they no longer revolve around him. As for this poem I am simply calling a spade a spade.malthus
