I try to look into my chest
And all I see is night,
A lack of what I think is best,
And void of all that's right.
I'm seeking a spark,
I'm seeking a heart,
And yet I have no sight.
You try to look into my chest
And there you see a light,
A presence of the good that's best,
A fire that's warm and bright.
You're seeing a spark,
You're seeing a heart,
And telling me your sight.

I try to look into your chest
And looking there, I see
A light that is better than best,
The same you saw in me.
I'm finding a spark,
I'm finding a heart,
And telling you what I see
Is all you ever wanted to be.
We look into each other's hearts
And slowly realize,
The only way we can see sparks
Is through each other's eyes.
And so I see that I can't see
Unless, my friend, you see for me.

"A clever piece I'd say. I liked the use of the Japanese word for the title though I don't usually:) I can't see why didn't you end rhyme these two lines, but I thought it must be intentional so just ignore me if it was…" -

"Evil Tinker Toys (by: eddy styx)" by @Candlewitch
"The topic shift from toys to people, so well done it was almost imperceptible. And then drawing the parallel back from people into the toys again, but so gruesomly. Quite a disturbing, but well written poem!" -
