I close my eyes to hide
Faces looking,watching, waiting
My return to open near
Why me I cry
Leave me alone
Leave me mad

Each time my eyes do open  
I see them waiting
Souls from beyond watching
Haunting
Some laughing at my
terror

I see them in the curtains
I see them on the walls
faces full of people
madness be my calm

My gift or be my punishment
They speak just with their eyes
Looking,wanting,waiting
In my despair

Darkness of night take my eyes away
Relief from the faces
No light I prey
No look to come my way
Moonlight shadows beckon
See faces stare my way
