Smart Eyes <
His eyes never begged to be understood.
They sat under bruised light
enough to make people step back,
wondering where his mind had already survived.
His eyes never look normal.
They look awake.
It makes me think where his mind hides.
How lonely is it there
or if people understand his gaze.
It's no wonder his eyes don't look alive.
That's the part I can't stop thinking about.
He barely speaks but his eyes always say something.
