your eyes

I see your eyes,
they give it all away -
those dark pits
you're terrified of
stepping into
alone;
skins stitched
apart -
even as they touch,
like ice cubes
frozen
in their sameness,
and a blood
they hold
but cannot share;
bodies bonded
in a cling-wrap of fear,
smiling outside,
even as they scream
inside,
for eyes that care to look
where no one
wants to tread,
alone.
