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?
