Poetry
The Eyes, A window to your heart

“If you gaze Long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you”
There’s something about staring at yourself for a Long time.
You begin to notice things
You notice your eyes and how clear and steady they are
How they stare deep and true
How though blurry are piercing and fierce
How despite all your fears are honest
You notice your lips
They don’t naturally curl up into a smile
You make them curl up
Or down
You notice your nose
The tiny air holes
You notice each and every pimple
You Look, you see and you accept
You acknowledge who you are and what you look like
You recognize and familiarize
You Love
There’s something about staring for Long.
