Eyes

my cold lifeless eyes bare to what the world  has shown it not afraid to look into the valley 
and forecast the past only able to recollect what is there not what was;
lost in the unseen and blinded by the essence of presence afraid to blink but hold the power 
to look past the flesh and break down the soul;
so now that the time has come to rest them and endulge in the dream land my cold lifeless 
eyes  presents its findings, the day as night the night as pain and the pain as the life that 
was once there;
so dare to look into my cold lifeless eyes and see what you find
