A Face In The Crowd..

I look all around
into a crowd dulled
by material affects
for one, just one
that looks back.

With eyes bright
full of life and love
thoughts and dreams
of a future
not yet known.

One that can see
beyond my smiling face
into a heart torn
through countless loves
lost to the crowd.

Yet all i see
is hearts filled with
love for themselves
and minds filled
with shallow thoughts.

So here I'll wait
standing outside the crowd
looking for the one
that looks back
and steals my heart.
