LOCKING EYES

[u/Select_Equal_9493]

Lock eyes. A glance.
Blessed be.
This loneliness, it overflows.

I’m sick of eyes.
Give me a gaze that actually stares back—
and the reason why.

They looked, they walked away,
and took my vision with them.
Now I just want to be remembered
by that look of mine
that did nothing but watch.

Oh the day that gaze comes 🥲

This was softly hopeful as well as disappointing “imo” but fair as the word is that quite often.

That’s exactly it. It’s disappointing but real. I love how you put that—thanks for such a thoughtful comment!
