Staring Back At Me.

[rewiiired]

My eye was burst wide open
enshrouded in shadows, vision blurred by tears,
but I sensed you there, I caught sight of you,
hiding behind all of them, your beady eyes
hungry to stare back at me,

and now, as it all adds up,
I find I'm on my way to finally facing you,
and I wonder what things I'll find
I wonder if I'll swallow you
or run and hide.

As the masks slowly fall away,
and I try to keep madness at bay,
I glance to those eyes of yours again,
and I feel them whispering to me

I feel your eyes whispering

and if I thought it would help
I'd hope you were a metaphor
and not some face of mine I tried to
leave behind in the sands of time

in that dark dead desert
I saw through my mind
with the rusty sky

if I thought it would help
I'd leave you out of the equation
so as to not face some lurking truth of mine
waiting patiently to be brought to light
so as to not face some face of mine
I tried to leave behind in the
sands of time

only to find you pulling strings beneath
only to find I never left the past behind
only to find as worlds collide, there I am,
staring back at me in the twilight

whispering, it's all true,
you are me and I am you, and
it's almost time, and it's all right...

and if I thought it would help
I'd hope you were a metaphor
and not some face of mine I tried to
leave behind in the sands of time

shit, that's some amazing poetry.

one of your best that i've read.
