Poem
February '96
Night Eyes
They whisper taunts and laugh and scream
How mean and cruel to me they seem
The voices in the wind they are
And peace and quiet seem so far
For me they reach and try to catch
Their slimy hands do make me retch
And run I do into the night
Their echoes causing endless fright
Cutting and tearing me to pieces
And I know that they're my weakness
They cut my soul just like a knife
Death does come to cause me strife
And once again my heart does bleed
Upon my fear they do feed
Inside I feel I'm burnt to ashes
It can't be hidden by satin sashes
For in the shadows I can see their eyes
And in the air I can hear their cries
I would fall to my knees, beg, and pray
If only to prolong my judgment day
I can't stop the torment in my head
I think of death and his world of the dead
In the distance I see someplace safe
Only when I get there its' to late
They're waiting for me to stop and rest
Then they put my endurance to the test
The worst part is I know their right
But they give no sympathy to my plight
I close my eyes to clear my mind
To free me from their ties that bind
No way out and no possible escape
Salvation comes in no human shape
My ears are ringing from their screeching
voices
They give me over a thousand choices
None of them would free my soul
For I've embraced that endless hole
A.N.- This is a poem I wrote a few years
back. Take it for whatever you want, I was in a dark mood when I wrote this
obviously. I have other poems I may post, I don't know. This is my first non-Gundam
