The eyes
Confused eyes stare at me, seeking comfort , seeking clarity A little jerk of the head, a slight tremor in the hands, invoking pity A thousand different thoughts run wild in my head, as the eyes stare in vain The person in front of me struggles to say something, all I could see are the eyes full of pain The eyes seem to cloud, choked words come out , a faint cry "Help me" I stare on helpless, the eyes call out to me , tthe eyes are all that I could see I reach my hand out, heart beating furiously, a lone tear falls away from my palm My head seems to spin, my breathing gets heavier, yet I keep looking on The eyes suddenly seem to clear, a faint smile appears, I strain to hear the light murmur I let out a loud gasp, my hand finds something solid, in front of me is a mirror..
