I could feel eyes over me,
behind me,
above me.
Always watching,
waiting for me to trip.
And when I did they watched,
I suppose that is all prying eyes can do.
I called out, but there were no ears to hear,
just eyes, watching... observing.

Oh, prying eyes, don't you see,
this life just wasn't made for me.

A hand came down, filled with pills
and prying eyes just watched;
slowly prying eyes faded, and I conversed with my watch.
"Any moment now" I said and the moment came and spoke;
"I hear you're looking for a ride, young child, so come and follow me"

I followed into darkness, cold, without a clue.
Then the moment turned and said "someone wants a word with you"  
I turned and there you were, hardly 34,
a look of sorry smudged across your face, I knew exactly what for.

I told you of the prying eyes and the awful lack of sound.
I told you stories about loss of laughter and asked why you weren't around.

Times were hard and tears were rough, I found myself to be lost. Looking back down at my wrist, lost hours to my watch.

I found my mind and lost prying eyes but still I feel something above me. A rock balanced on my shoulders, but I never forget what he told me.

My heart is not a weapon, so why does it hurt the most when they use it?

Four leaf clover
Little black cat
Good luck bad luck
What's up with that?

As dark as the ink on these pages
As numb as frostbitten fingers
My heart just beat 3 times as fast
But still a darkness lingers

My head is busy, it wonders
Stomping all the time
A flash and I am back there
His eyes still covered with dimes

Cannot escape the horror
The circus of my life
Are you afraid of clowns, my dear?
Good - '*** this ones bites

But, every time someone leaves me,
I learn to love myself a little more.
