The Light of the Other's Eyes

What is that light 
that you see 
in the other eyes 

As a marble mask 
that remains only 
a mask 

That I wear 
in the hope that 
I will never put it 

Which is that life 
thet we bear in 
the pain of it 

Not even the tears 
will take the pain away 

Until we enter in our skin 
We will never enter 
in somebody else 

Just ask yourself 
did you put this mask 
or someone put it instead of you
