I miss looking into the eyes of my mother.
I miss looking into the eyes of my father.
I miss looking into the eyes of a person who is,
loving,
compassionate,
and faithful.
I miss having a reason to be alive.
I miss having a reason to wake up.
I miss having a reason to be the person I want to be,
loving,
compassionate,
and faithful.
They say that the eyes are the window to the soul.
Can this be true if the eyes belong to someone without,
a soul?
Can this be true if the eyes belong to someone who is not,
loving,
compassionate,
and faithful?
I don't understand why we cry.
I don't understand why we sleep.
I don't understand why we love.
But maybe,
just maybe,
it is all the same thing.
I hope we cry because we are,
loving,
compassionate,
and faithful.
I hope we sleep because we need rest from,
loving,
hold compassion,
and are faithful.
I hope we love because that is what it is,
to be human.
My worst fear is that,
we love because we are asleep.
I miss being awake.
