• smokey eyes
    ringed with fear.

    he is so scared.
    I wish I could comfort him.
    But it's not my place, not my time.

    wandering eyes
    lonely distant stars.

    he is far away.
    I wish I could pull him close.
    But it's not my place, not my time.

    dull lifeless eyes
    once bright blue skies.

    he is gone washed away.
    I wish I could bring him back.
    But it's not my place, not my time.

    broken eyes
    beaten down suppressed boy.

    he is hard and cold.
    I wish I could find the heart in him.
    But it's not my place, not my time.

    lying eyes
    keeper of secrets.

    he is lying to everyone; to himself.
    I wish I could unravel his secrets.
    But it's not my place, not my time.

    lost eyes
    wanderer lost in space.

    he is lost in the sea of time.
    I wish I could guide him back.
    But it's not my place, not my time.

    he is gone
    long gone.

    But his eyes have been imprinted in me.
    Crying to and haunting my soul.
    I wish I could see him again.
    But its not my place, not my time

    because he is dead
    and I wish I was too.
