engulf me in your stare
the unfamiliar look that shows such honesty in your eyes
i can't breathe
please let me go
release me from this gaze
gasping for air, i'll beg you
stay with me here
but do not turn your eyes upon my face
for you will see the suffering there
and i cannot bare your pain
for i am barely withstanding mine
weep not my love
i will end it soon
do not gaze upon my face
so that we may live on in this world
smiling upon other faces that reflect our falsities
