A Stranger's Eyes

*NOTE* Yes, this may be a little weird for a poem. I'm just on a poem-writing thing right now, pity me! By the way, it's about Jake and Cassie. And no, it doesn't rhyme. E-mail additional comments to [email protected].

It would come soon,

And I knew it.

He knew it too.

But somehow...

When I looked into his eyes...

They weren't his any longer.

They were a stranger's eyes.

But for one second,

One tiny, meaningless second,

I saw a flicker of something.

Of humanity,

Of sadness,

Of despair...

Of hope.

But then it was gone.

I pitied only Jake.

For his eyes,

Were no longer his.

They were a stranger's eyes.
