Subway Companions

Slouching insecurity, she steps onto the subway and sinks in to her usual spot never looking up

She wears stress like an accessory in the form of baggy eyes and unwashed hair.

The cross on her neck is the only thing on her that speaks hope

However, today she looked up and in a moment of humanity her eyes drearily met with his.

Passed the bags and wrinkles sit her warm brown eyes that hadn’t genuinely looked into another’s for far too long.

Out of relief a tear rolled down her cheek because she knew he wasn’t looking at her accessories of stress. 
Rather, he saw her for the person even she forgets she is sometimes.

Content and Confident she steps onto the subway and nestles into her usual spot

She wears joy like an accessory in the form of a smile and loving eyes


Looking up, her neighbor gleams because from one genuine moment of humanity they've become best friends
