Careless

watching
waiting
wondering
do you care at all?

your striking eyes
startles me
wakes me
from the nightmares

I see pain
I see need
I see someone
yearning for love
being wanted
being needed

I see people
milling about
lemmings, they are
minding their business
never reaching
outside their own worlds
never looking up
only looking down

do they see your pain?
do they see my pain?
do they care?
do you?
