Those Eyes


Step, step, turn, step,

Down the hall to the left,

Eyes wait, watch, glare,

One move, Stare, Stare.

Wrong step, twist, turn,

Fall back, fear, run,

No Escape, none at all,

Eyes glare, watch you fall.

Scream, yell, shout, fear,

No help, no one here,

High above, down so low,

Distance too far to go.

Can't see, can you help?

No one here, Shout, Yell.

Not a sound can be heard,

Disregard every word.

My voice screams for justice,

Power keeps the distance,

My voice turns to whisper,

As I lose myself in your Stare.
