Opaque

Her eyes were opaque, at best,
When he first looked into them, and
That was what attracted him, who
Thought he knew everything about
Human nature, because he couldn’t
See into her and know her instantly.
As time passed, those eyes became
Even more impossible to decipher,
So he became even more needy. In
The end, she left him none the wiser,
And alone, after fifty years of loving.
He followed her the next day.
