rivet the eyes on

do you recognize those eyes
keep on the piercing gaze
it will click into your mind
who they belong to
why it stings
forgotten names
of memorable faces
but this strikes you
differently then before
an irksome spot
of commonality
akin only to you
though aged
they remain unchanged
looking back at you
searching for an answer
that evades again
know they don’t forget
but you have
as the reflection sets
you ponder once more
“who is this”
but there is no reply
just a repeating stare
