Eyes (5/30-5/31/2007)

I
I stare at the sun
Loosing myself in thought
Before I know it
I’ve lost my sight

I stand there in darkness
I stand for a long time
Nothing around me
But I still feel it
I can feel the eyes
They peer at me
Pierce me

I feel cold
Naked
Exposed

I get down on my knees
Bend til my head is on the ground
And I cry

When I stop
That piercing feeling is gone
I open my eyes
And the light is a relief

I find my way home
And when I finally look in the mirror
I recognize my body
But those eyes!
They did not used to be mine
They were the eyes that I had felt

II
I see you
Yes, I see you

You are crying
As well you should be

Look at your life
You are nothing but a mess

How wonderful are these eyes
For I see how great it is
To not be you

III
They used to be at my side
Oh Lord, what have I done?

These eyes have seen
What only you could

These damn eyes!
Damning, Condemning!

But no
It was not the eyes

It was me
I drove them all away

In the anger of my own revelation
I pluck out those eyes

I am once again in the darkness
And I come to realize where I am

I lie awake now, in my bed
The light is once again a relief

But can I call it a dream
Or was it really me?
