Its in their eyes

Some days you can feel the depths of depression by their eyes. They look at you but don't seem to see you, looking through you as if you were glass. Eyes off in some distant place. Some black hole. How lonely that must be, lost without the feeling of hope. And, yes, it is frightening for one who is used to seeing love reflected back from caring eyes ... to see the void of a person who is present in body but seemingly absent in spirit with eyes empty of emotion.
