Eyes

New poem I wrote over the last week. Some musings on stuff I've been thinking about and conversations I've had. Dedicated to anyone who's felt this way before or seen their friends' eyes look like this. Rather a different format than what I usually do. Feedback would be nice.

Eyes

Your eyes scare me…
So numb, so deathlike.
Show something in them!
Anger, hate, sadness,
Show something…
Anything.

Ah, now your eyes flicker.
Good.
Show something.
You’ll climb the heights
Again.
You will and they’ll be
Pure bliss.

Your eyes give
You away.
You don’t believe me.
You’re slowly dying
And see no hope.
But the depths are never
That deep.
There is always
A light, of some sort,
At the end.
Do not give up
Hope…

You don’t believe me,
Your eyes give
You away.
Your eyes scare me…
So numb, so deathlike.
You know this is
Happening.
You don’t know
What to do.
And so you
Fall back,
You let it.

Your eyes scare me…
So very numb…
