A Childs Eyes

why is it you i see?
why do you fallow me ?
every corner every turn 
i see your haunting face
a childs grace,
with deep haunting eyes 
eyes older than the body 
they've seen so many years
locked within those eyes
i see so many fears
death hate love 
all locked within those eyes
but a childs face is where the secrets lie
the eyes tell the story 
of the mind inside the child
beautiful yet terrifying
so much pain in those eyes
glazed with tears
but why dont you cry?
to afraid of the pain ?
of what you might find?
if you take a chance 
to dance where the heart lies
