He stares me down
I stare back
Like I can’t move
I feel paralyzed

His eyes look cold
Below freezing
Like he said his heart feels
Never see him crack a smile

I should worry
But I can’t wrap my head around
How he feels fully
I think he doesn’t even know

He acts different around people
Being alone
Is what he craves
But is scared to be alone

He feels like nothing
No-one cares about
Him, his feelings, or opinions
But he only feels that way

It’s not true
He battles with himself
All day
Just to lose

I blink and turn away from the mirror
