I STARE AT YOU

I stare at you

You have no clue why

Some say I’m weird

I really don’t care

I stare

I’m not interested in your looks

I’ve read your books

I’m more interested in you

You

Simple yet complex

Full of mysteries

Full of tales

You get uncomfortable

I don’t care

I still stare

I drift away in thoughts

What would it feel like to see your world through your eyes?

To know the things you know

To see the things you see

To feel the things you feel

You smile almost all the time

But I see the tears no one sees

Your looks tell a different tale

Your books tell a different tale

But now that I see you

I see a different tale

I find you rather fascinating

I’m captivated by your complexity

You’ll make a good muse

Oh yes, that’s good use!

I stare just for a while

A little while longer

I drink in your aura of wisdom

Wise one you are

Smart too

You get uncomfortable

I shouldn’t care

But now I do

I’ve seen the truth

I’ve seen the sadness behind that smile

Pretty sad you!

I look away

And take a bow
