Contact

We make eye contact and glance away. Two strangers knowing full well what the other “is” 
We glance away.. 
only to scan each other once again.. 
Seeking what the other knows.. 
Yet unable to “see” their pain.

My heart flutters, reaching for yours.. 
I hear your thoughts, just by that one  glance,

The pain, hurt, sadness, and agony eating at your soul…

We scan again trying to avoid staring…

Our eyes meet,

We “see” the pain the other has hidden.. 
and in that fraction of a second we both open wide our emotons.. 
and know the other isn’t alone.

2 strangers…

Several million hurts… and the scars to prove it.
