my hollow eyes

my hollow eyes stare at you
they blink
your perfect eyes stare at me
you blink

you wouldn't know it
but i am sobbing
lacking tears streaming down my face
as you could never love me

for my eyes are gone
non-existant
but not in the normal way
in the ever abnormal way

the holes delve into my head
like portals
portals to the darkest regions of life
hideous

i once read that the eyes are the gateway to the soul
so do you see my soul
my blackness
corrupted by humanity?

my hollow eyes stare into yours
even without them i can still see
you ever loving being
you are exquisite

your glorious eyes, glorious soul
look at me
they blink and stare
but ever lovingly

i don't understand
i don't get it
how could such a divine creature
love a soulless being as I

you reach out and lightly grasp my hand
as the pits of darkness on my head wince
I am not used to the touch of love
I am not used to kindness
but you are ever so caring
you love me
I do not know why
but I see it in your eyes, I see them in your eyes
even though I know only bleakness exists
I see the reflection of my big brown eyes within yours
