Once someone asked me the difference between the I and the Eye.

With an amused gaze,

I felt unfazed and said:

The Eye

Is a mirror,

A silver rimmed witness

Observing the world in a blink, yet keeping its distance.

It sees the mountain,

It sees the pain,

The texts written in vain,

And the streaks of greys on my mother’s hair.

The Eye is a lonely warrior;

It sees the world, yet not itself. The truest horror.

But the I

Is the one sitting in the dark behind the glass.

The I is the one who aches when the Eye sees too much.

When the salted streaks begin their slow crawl, down the cheeks like a waterfall,

It is the Eye that leaks, tears lamenting,

But it is the I that is drowning.

The Eye is doomed to watch

While the I is doomed to feel and touch.

How sad can the Eye be?

How sad can I be?
