Eyes

Your eyes
follow me.
All these eyes
always see.
Green eyes
of summer grass.
Brown eyes
of Autumn's past.
Blue eyes
of oceans deep...
all these eyes
conspiringly peep.
Eyes are knowing.
Some are kind.
But your eyes
are the only ones
I seek to find.
Without your eyes
I am blind.
I cannot find
the eyes
that save me.
Where is the heart
that you gave me?
It is gone.
Back in your chest?
The eyes are gone.
No longer looking.
No longer caring.
Your eyes are black
I can't take back
the words I wish I'd never said.
They repeat themselves inside my head.
And when I go to bed
it's always your eyes
I see behind MY eyes.
Your eyes through the dark...
Your eyes on my face...
Your eyes in each and every place.
They always find me,
always haunt me.
Never speaking
always watching.
Always moving.
Never talking.
Stupid eyes.
I loath thy light.
go away and leave the night.
Leave me in dark
the night is gray.
Your eyes still follow...
I turn away.
