Eyes like chocolate lakes staring into mine
Foggy with moss
Wildlife seeping from every corner
Surrounding the pool of darkness that flickers like an underworld lighthouse
Postponing my thoughts.

Eyes like chocolate-
No...
Have I said all of this before?
I travel back through the abyss of my memories
Searching for the moment long forgotten of the
Eyes like-
No!
My panic skyrockets.
I inhale.
I exhale.
I start over

Eyes like sunflowers and summer skies staring into mine
Misty with dew
Light glazing every inch
A dark hole in the middle, pouring out endless streams of varnish and fairy dust
Stopping my thoughts for a moment.

Eyes-
Have I been here before?
I ponder, my heart longing for answers
Disdain fills my heart until it's bursting at the seams
Why don't I know the colour? Why does this seem so familiar?
Restart.
Reset.
I need to go back to the beginning.

Eyes like stormy blue skies filled with lightning and dusty clouds
Cloudy with rain and a hint of sadness
Drowning
Drowning.
Drowning!
I'm drowning!

Eyes-
Eyes...
I can't remember
I could just look
But I can't
I shouldn't
But I want to.

I slowly remove the covers
Light burns my retinas
At first
The pain soothes me
I reflect while the light dims slightly
But as they adjust I look into the reflective glass and finally see the truth
Finally

Eyes as scarlet as the blood pouring from my veins.
Not again.
