All that you have is your soul.
Tracy Chapman "CROSSROADS"

SILVERED GLASS

I've seen those eyes,
anxious and wired
bouncing off walls
alert to a terror
never to come

I've seen those eyes,
bulging in anger
firing bullets of hate
life meaning nothing
unless it is theirs

I've seen those eyes,
mercilessly begging
swimming in red
powerless to define
passionate regrets

I've seen those eyes,
dilated, hollow, and vacant
gone to some other place
waiting to die
forever lost

I've seen those eyes,
cheating and lying
suffering and hiding
and I've lived in them
while passing by mirrors.
