Your Eyes Look Like

Your eyes look like
they have traveled a long way.
Noise drains out my mind.

Slight nuances,
notes,
emanate from your face.

It's like you were never born,
and like you never died,
as if you are eternal,
timeless,
alien,
out of this world,
but so, so close
to every human's heart.

Is it because you have
truly loved,
when none of us ever have?

Why are you here,
why are you hurting yourself,
why are you taking all those risks?

Are you trying to show us,
to teach us,
to truly love?

Many might say that's in vain,
but maybe,
just maybe,
there's a chance,
a spark of hope.

Few of us will know
what life is
and what love is.

But some day
the message will spread.

Some day
we can be free,
we can be ourselves.

Some day
we may be able to love.
