at first they seemed to seek my soul
searching, longing,
like i was a dish of ice cream
to be eaten
then i glimpsed, oh, what was that?
a disconnect
a smile, broad and inviting
but those eyes would not complete the picture
next i noticed
frightful vision
black emptiness
soul sucking
now, empty unenthused
looking back at me
i see through to the other side
and find
the truth of you.
there is nothing there
