Haunting Eyes

Those hollow eyes, they haunt me.

A pain that can’t be disguised.

Sunk deep within, dark ringed,

Pale, lifeless skin.

The haunting look, robotic focus.

The shadow of death descending.

Jolting chemicals shook the soul,

Killing and somehow mending.

I’ve seen those hollow eyes before,

I saw them again today.

I wish I’d see them never more,

I wish they’d stay away!
