I hate your eyes
And how they seem to look through my soul
Like you peruse through a table of clothes at the mall
So dispassionate
And yet
So much more
Somewhere deep inside that little blue ball that is you
All fuzzy and furry
Wanting to be kept warm
By someone else's arms
Instead of your own
As they wrap themselves around you
Clutching tightly to a world that just isn't there
Because it left you behind
In the maelstrom that is insanity
And not the insanity inside your head
But my own
Because that's where you have always been
And will always remain.
