'What Do You See?'
a poem by: Tara W.
POV: Scully, to Mulder

note:)  While rewatching the XF movie, I was inspired by the
infamous hallway scene to write this poem. Specifically, this
poem was inspired by the stare shared by M/S just before the
'almost' kiss.
------------------------

while the rest of me hides,
my eyes cannot lie-
seeking help
for this burning vulnerability.
please tell me
what do you see,
when our eyes meet-
the meaning of life, the single syllable of your existence,
or
can you see that the reflection within
me
is only
you?
could it be true,
that old cliche-
the eyes, a window into the soul?
what do you hear,
when our eyes speak-
a scream, a prayer, a silent plea
to end the suffering of
one
broken, tattered
heart?
what do you feel,
when the light in my eyes dims-
the need to find in me
the answer to your
one question reality?
tell me,
why do you search these eyes,
my eyes,
to find a sign in the tears
your words have released?
knowing and wanting,
fear and need,
this, I know you see,
but do my eyes betray?
is this waterfall
of love,
what my tears have allowed
you
to see?
