Eyes in the darkness
I strain to see
Eyes softly searching
I feel weak
Eyes closed forever
I can’t breathe
Eyes alone together
I need sleep
Eyes peer too deeply
I can’t know
Eyes try to greet me
I can’t go
Eyes fill with wonder
I might hide
Eyes fill with hatred
I can’t abide
Eyes of sympathy
I am ashamed
Eyes cry with me
I am pain
Eyes search horizons
I can’t reach
Eyes search reflections
I’m not me
Eyes of compassion
I don’t need
Eyes in the darkness
I can’t see
