The Face On the Wall

The face in the wall Stares at me all night long. It’s calm in the morning And judgeful at night. It calls in my sleep And laughs when I cry Yet I can figure out why it turns when I laugh The face in the wall Isn’t so tall Yet I can’t seem to reach for it always swipes me off my feet. While I try to ignore how well it’s hollow eyes match mine. 010822

Reminds me of a creepy photo of an ancestor that hung in my grandfather's bedroom; no matter where one went in the room, its eyes would always follow! Enjoyed!
