it is the eyes

poem written 2021

By Miles VaessenPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

Eye sees you

Eye knows what you’ve done

Eye ravishes over your remains

Eye bids you not come

Eye harbours your secrets

Eye lies in wait

Eye dare not close

Eye burdens your fate

Eye is the window

Eye is not the door

Eye allows you to view

Eye dare not let you enter no more

Eye holds prisoners

Eye is not free

Eye is you and

Eye is me

For whom else shall bear witness the horrors of sentience

Absorb the brutality of thought

Mirror the expression of feeling

Expel in delicate liquid form the pain we ought

It is the eyes

The eyes

The eyes

It is the eyes

The eyes

The eyes
