When I look into my eyes
What do "eye" see?
Is it rage? Is it terror?
Is it dark as can be?
Is there fear in my pupils?
Is there truth I visualize?
Is there pain in my tear ducts?
Do my lashes paralyze?
Is my lens a bloodshot red?
Is my iris's black and dilated?
Are they naked and blind?
Or maybe sharp and violated?
Should I feast my eyes on?
Should I keep an eye out?
Should I just see eye to eye?
Should I shut my eyes to?
Should I have an eye for?
Should I just not open them any more?
Maybe they are blurry?
There's nothing I can see?
But no one will ever know.
Cuz my eyes belong to me.
