Walking down the sidewalk
You notice the smallest of detail
Of the silvery hardened surface
Only because
Your face is descended downwards
Your eyes fixated to the ground
You wish to make no eye contact
With anything or anyone that passes
You wish for your eyes not to deceive you
You have lost all trust in them
You have lost all hope
They have brought pain and suffering
They have brought lies and deceit
Memories begin to bounce about your head
You close your eyes
It is useless
The blackness that drowns your vision
And leaves you in euphoric blindness
Soon become flashing images
You squeeze your eyes tighter
To try and prevent
The salted rain that flows out of them
They show no remorse
You ascend your head
Perhaps to give them another chance
You fixate on another soul
With a similar look of pain
You feel sympathy and empathy
Your eyes begin to glisten
But not of pain
But a feeling of
Happiness
Hopefully this time
Your eyes didn’t deceit you
You notice that the other souls eyes
Do the very same
And then
You lightly smile
