Whispers of the Soul

Horror

The Eyes in the Dark

In the cloak of the night, I find myself bound,
Trapped in the shadows, where silence is found.
The air thick with tension, my heart starts to race,
For I feel their presence, though I cannot see a face.

Glowing eyes pierce the darkness, a myriad of light,
Each flicker a whisper, a promise of fright.
They circle around me, a haunting parade,
Unblinking, unyielding, in this eerie charade.

I strain in the stillness, yet dare not to move,
As the eyes close in closer, my fears they approve.
From corners and crevices, they watch with intent,
In this suffocating night, my courage is spent.

One pair gleams brightly, like embers aglow,
Another dim flickers, casting shadows below.
With every heartbeat echoing in the void,
I'm lost in their gaze, my freedom destroyed.

What creatures are lurking, concealed by the night?
What secrets do they hold, hidden just out of sight?
I shiver in anguish, each breath a low sigh,
As I plead with the darkness, "Just let me pass by!"

But the eyes keep their vigil, unmoved by my fear,
A dance of the restless, as they draw ever near.
I long for the dawn, for a break in this spell,
Yet the weight of their gaze holds me captive in hell.

I feel them surround me, like whispers of doom,
In the depths of the dark, where no light can bloom.
Their watch is unending, a tormenting embrace,
In a world without comfort, I'm lost in this space.

What do they desire? Do they hunger for souls?
Or is it my spirit they're here to console?
In this dreadful stillness, the air heavy with dread,
I search for salvation in the eyes that I dread.

Then softly, the dawn breaks, a sliver of light,
The eyes slowly fade, retreating from sight.
But the echoes of fear linger deep in my mind,
For in the dark shadows, true terror I'll find.

So I'll carry their watch, as a weight on my heart,
For the eyes in the dark never truly depart.
In the corners of night, where nightmares take flight,
They'll haunt my existence, long after the light.
