Stare

Haven't you heard it's not polite to stare?

Your piercing eyes puncture my skin and make me bleed my emotions.

And yet, I still don't know what

You see when my habitual glare meets yours,

But I know I cause convulsions.

Convulsions that run up and down your spine.

Because you have yet to realize until now

That you were bleeding the same dark red

Liquid from the **** that I caused.

Nevertheless, we still both convince ourselves of being unaware

To what this lingering, locking of our retinas symbolizes.

Is it love?

Is it lust?

Or is it neither?

We contemplate this question and wait patiently.

Hoping that our dauntless, hazel orbs, urge us on

Once more, to peer into their mirror images across the way.

So that they can utter the words that our tongues cannot form.

There is no longer a use for pointless chatter,

When our stare says it all.
