For a Millenia
I’ve walked this barren land
Unbeknownst to others of my kind
A wandering mist
I gazed upon everything
While everyone else is blind
Spools of thread barred their sights
Perhaps the same spools I have yet to find
Cursed, wide awake
While others slumbered
Alone I roamed
As eternity stretched
And stretched
Until I saw another pair of eyes
You were as awake as I was
The anguish, mirroring my own, halted
For the first time we stared
As we have never stared before
For the first time we saw
How eyes are like pools
How eyes are like souls
Even though it was terrifying
To be truly seen
How glad I was
To drown in them
