The Eyes

Eyes in the dark

Staring and glaring at me

Never looking away

Plastered onto the walls

Even when I close my own eyes, The Eyes surround me

Do they know what I’ve done?

So many acts, no telling which they know

Do they know who I am?

Clearly they do. They stare with purpose

Looking within me

Looking past me

Looking through me

They see it all

They see my successes and see my failures

The Eyes know all

The Eyes see all

They’ve finally come for me

I thought I was just paranoid

But they were just waiting

Waiting until they were ready

And now they are here

Closing in

Cutting off the light

Bringing out the inner darkness

The darkness we all carry

Wearing like a badge

How it’s a weight around my neck

Pulling me down

Down into the darkness

I can’t fight it

I can’t stop it

My resistance is useless

My struggle is pointless

The eyes laugh as I slowly fade away

Becoming one with the abyss

Their laughter growing louder

As my body gets colder, fading, vanishing into the blackness

Soon I will be gone

And The Eyes will move on

And I will be at peace at last
