Echo of Glass

Who are you?
Why are you looking at me with your empty eyes?
Say something, please.
I see your lips moving,
why is there no sound?
Louder, louder!
I can't hear . . .

Stop looking at me,
stop, stop your staring!
I don't want to see!

Ah, that's better,
the darkness.
I'll open my eyes,
if you would stop staring.
Okay?

No, stop, stop looking at me!
Your eyes, so sharp, cutting through me.
I can't get away.
Those blank, staring eyes.
So wide,
so cold.
You're scaring me,
really.

Please say something,
Do something.
Don't look at me with those lifeless eyes!
No, no,
why are you just standing there?
Go away, go away!

Why aren't you leaving?
Your staring eyes,
like marbles of ice.
I'm shivering, freezing.
If you won't stop staring,
then will you take my hand?

You're so cold,
and not soft at all.
Strange,
you must be so sad,
so alone.
Me too.

I'm sorry I yelled,
but please stop staring.
Here, take my hand,
lets go out to the world,
together.

Why are you going away?
Follow me, follow me!
No, please, come back!

Ah, you came back.
But you're still so cold,
I can feel your loneliness,
your sadness.
Come with me, lets go,
Hurry.

Why are you running away?
Say something, say something,
Let me hear you!

Why won't you say anything?
Why won't you talk to me?
Why do you always run away?
Do something, do something!
Please, please stop staring.
Go away, go away,
It hurts!

What are those lines,
running across your face?
It's spreading,
wider, wider.
Your hands,
your face,
your arms, feet, legs, body,
Your eyes.
Your empty, staring eyes.
They're still there,
still staring.
Why?

Ah, you're gone,
Just like that.
Where did you go?
I can't see you,
I can't hear you.
It's empty, a black space,
that's all there is.
There are pieces of you,
why, you're all broken.

Say something?
Do something, please, please.
I can't find you.
I'm sorry,
I'm sorry I hit you.
I'm sorry I broke you.
I'm not mad, not at all.
There you are,
Finally.
Are you alright?

Why, why are you still staring?
Disappear, disappear!
No, wait, I'm sorry!
Stay, stay.
Please don't go away.
There's no one else here,
they all pass by.
They never speak to me,
They never look at me,
They all go away
and none of them,
can hear me.

Why won't you speak to me?
Why won't you come with me?
I'm happy you stayed,
really.
But I'm tired, and
I'm scared.
Are you scared too?
