Every single time I watch your eyes
as they watch me leave.
They do not flinch -
they almost don't believe.
I pause, and look for a sign
something to stop me from going
Sometimes in the haze of your eyes
I see an old passion glowing
but too soon, alas, is it overpowered
by an angry, ruthless, indifference
and a hatred for what you see on my face
something you once held in reverence.
It pains me to watch you quit
on yourself, and on your right to me
It pains me the snigger with which you acknowledge
I'll come back tomorrow, wherever I be
I wish you would stop me, and never let me go
I wish too that I could just leave forever
I wish you could own me like you once did
or else I could just disown you forever
But the ice doesn't break.
You shut your eyes on me.
The pause is over.
It's time for me to leave...

It was inspired from an image, a very specific image from a story I half-imagined. Although the words of this poem are more vague than that, for me, the original story was so powerful, the poem sucks. :)

Half the story is inspired, as I said, by something I read. Let me try to put into words what I made out of it by building on it. It's in my head. Will try.

Not every thing, not every words. Words fail me so often, and yet they are all I have. Will come back with the story soon.
