The way her eyeballs pinball around her sockets tells you she's anxious
She seems lost in a continuous loop
She feels like her life is the haunted house that people only want to visit once a year
Lonely and forgotten
Like that one pair of stilettos she keeps in her closet
Ask her about her day
Make her feel safe
Tell her that her demons can go play with the skeletons in your closet
Her eyes then match yours
She sees her image in your mirrors
And she realizes that she isn't alone
