Mmeso Inspires: If Eyes Were Gun

If eyes were gun,

Leo would have shot me severally.

The Intensity of his stares always penetrate my flesh like a fresh syringe.

And I wonder why…

At the Cafe, I saw him still, with a cup of coffee close to his lips.

His roving eyes would not allow him take a sip.

If eyes were pistol,

Leo will certainly pull the trigger.

How better can you explain this?

That his eyes trailed my movement even as I  sojourn from east to west.

Alas, I am being stalked.

I need to inform the Cops.

I watched Leo, standing across the subway…

His look was that of a pained man struggling to be strong.

I wonder what must have happened…

He did not see me approaching, his gaze was fixed to a spot.

“Hello”, I said waving my hand.

He did not move or respond either, I tapped him on the shoulder.

Leo was startled, when he turned to behold my presence.

I noticed there was tears in his eyes.

I was visibly concerned.

“My wife slumped here three years ago, I lost her” he whispered.

“I am sorry Leo, I said feeling pity for him.

“Thank you Miss, I am Lionel not Leo, he said.

 “You have a striking resemblance with my late wife Miss, I can’t help but always want to look at you each time you pass by”.

He dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out his phone and showed me her picture.

 I wept.
