Jitter Issue #3
It's All in the Eyes
It 's All in the EyesCaught in the middle of a Devil's dreamMy eyes quickly opened in fright.A question arose and perched on my lips,"Why must this happen each night?"Is it payment for something long in the past?Some evil which I had once done?Could the blood of a man spilled so long agoHaunt my sleep and make my heart run?Could the fear in his eyes as his life quickly fadesLeave on me such an impressionThat long down the road what should be in the pastHas become to me such an obsession?I once thought time would wash the blood from my handsOr happiness make me forget.But even the birth of the son that I loveHasn't released me just yet.Those eyes, those eyes, those soul searing eyes,I now see why they make me so wild.As I look at my son, I see those eyes setIn the face of what I once thought my child.
