His eyes meet mine as I walk away
Begging me to stop by
I see pain in his eyes
Not knowing why
It's there
He looks out to me
Asking me, begging me
His eyes asking more
Questions than my lips can't answer
His pain speaks to me
There's a story to tell
Coming out of him
Bursting
Yet I hear no words
I see his pain
His defeat
His helplessness
I'm drawn to his eyes
Calling out to me
Can he see me?
Or right through me?
I hear no words
I want to help him
But it's too late
And I've already gone to the next piece of art
