Peer Into My Broken Heart

Silent Eyes

Howling winds blew through the the tall, rattling corn field around me.  I looked around and covered my mouth with my hand, in hopes whatever was out there wouldn't hear me.  I tried walking as quietly as possible, although difficult due to the crunching beneath my feet.  I saw just enough of the towering scarecrow ahead of me to walk in its direction; once I arrived I looked above to meet its face.  A raggedy, stitched smile and eyes beamed down on me in almost a way of judgement.  Like it was watching my every move.
