Those eyes
brilliant colors painted on the back of a butterfly
Those eyes should not move me but they do
Those eyes
seem to pierce my soul with the precision of a surgical steel blade
Those eyes, like a mirror, reflecting
but instead of seeing my image, there are my deepest secrets
Startled and embarrassed, I scan the crowd
realizing that I am the only one who can see
Those eyes openly mock me
Is it an illusion? Is it real?
Is my overactive imagination pairing with a guilty conscious to condemn me for years of well kept secrets
As I lay down to sleep in my dream I still can see
those eyes.
