"Will you tell me what you see?"
Interesting question; I see me.
"Yes, but what else does it show?"
Do you really have to know?

I see a pair of empty eyes.
"One of those you recognize?"
I see false upturned lips.
"One with twitches at the tips?"

I see a sheet drained out of colors.
"Behind of which a pour soul cowers?"
I see dried armor reflecting light.
"Does it really protect from fights?"

I see bare feet on the floor.
"Those you step on when they're sore?"
I see arms wrapped around.
"Looks like someone's tightly bound."

I see tears trailing down cheeks.
"What's behind them is what you seek."
I see rows of teeth clenched tight.
"Out of angst or out of fright?"

I see a helpless brainless soul.
"One with a heart they can't control?"
I see a shattered riven heart.
"Only the beginning, only the start."
