And when you look at me
with those pale eyes
void of any expression
or any expectations
just a mere hollow gaze
staring in oblivion
like some barren land with nothingness
yet, despite such quietness
you profoundly hold
many untold stories
and agonies of some past storms
as if a heart waiting to be beheld
so, I chose to stay
curious and draped in an inquisitive love
