Original 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 Wing related post on ffn. I hope you like it and thanks for reading!!!*_*
