us.

they say
that the eyes are the windows to the soul.

when i look into your eyes
your soul shines bright and clear
radiating fragile, glasslike innocence.

when i look into my eyes
i see the pain that has no meaning
the tears that are left unexplained
the scars with empty stories.

when i look into your eyes
i see forgiveness.

when i look into my eyes
i see hatred.

we could not be more different
and yet we are one and the same.

--

right now, i’m me
tomorrow, i might be you
but i will always be us
no matter how often i wish otherwise.
