The mirror focuses on you.
Little eyes dart, searching
Mine find yours
What secrets held hostage?
What thoughts lie within?
I see an expression
Close to what I hope to see
But do you notice mine
Are my thoughts showing?
Do you see me in my mirror?
I build a story about you
The shape of your face
I hold details like gold coin
The light changes and we part
Do I see you again next light?
Maybe her eyes were trying to send off a message you could not interpret too soon. State closely and you will know!

I’ll keep an eye out for her. Maybe the time just wasn’t right

The line using the word ‘hostage’ in that context was wonderful. The premise of the whole poem is amazing! Please check out my blog too? Thanks. 🙂

I had an interesting (strangely fascinating) woman follow me to work 2 days in a row. Her eyes were on high alert. I had the sense she was hiding her eyes from sight. Give me a little bit and I’ll stop by
