Look me in the eye
and tell me a story
Don't start to cry
You shouldn't worry
No words need to be spoken
No actions need to be done
We are all broken
Each and every one
Let me see your eyes
Let me look close
You cannot disguise
the plot that you compose
I look in yours
You look in mine
Inside I see the universe
Planets, galaxies and stars that shine
I see secrets and memories
Knowledge and emotions
I see chaos and peace
Stillness and motion
I see creativity and imagination
Reality all twisted
I see boredom and fascination
My perception of things have shifted
I see talent and passion
interest and hobbies
I see love and compassion
family and priorities
I see beliefs and ethics
morals and history
I see facts and academics
books and their story
I see insecurities and broken hearts
wars and self doubt
I see a collection of your art
And things you never told me about
I break the connection
comprehending what I saw
All the beauty and complexion
Left me in awe
