Sometimes your words are repetitive and in certain instances it works, but others not so much. Also, I wouldn’t use capital letters every line except for emphasis on the first word or at the beginning of a sentence. It jumbles the structure, and it’s much easier to read and flow when lines are lowercase, as then I know it is connected and supposed to flow with the line above it
Feel I’ve been here for a while
It’s snowing a bit, but not enough
For me to talk about it much
I guess that I’ll just write it down
To read when nobody’s around. —-> maybe “no one” would flow better than “nobody”
Poetry is sad enough
Sadder when you’re acting tough
Soon enough I’m sitting there —> I’d avoid using enough again if you can
Flooded by torrential stares —> really like this line
Some are black, some crystal clear —> if they are supposed to be opposites I don’t think this works perfectly but it’s still good. This was just my first thought but debonair would work great with the rhyme scheme. Depends on the meaning you are trying to convey though. Don’t force it if it doesn’t have any meaning for you
Some with ever present tears —> these three lines were great
Two that stare inside of me
Though looking right beside of me —> these two lines were very ambiguous and also not sure I like that each ends in “of me”. Also you used “stares” above so I would try to switch up the word choice
Leading me to fields unknown
And leaving me there all alone—> these two lines are good
Inhumane, these eyes that lead
Me to a place where I concede
That all my thoughts are yours alone —> not sure about this line, a bit confusing for me in the wording
These eyes are yours that make me stone
