I have shadows where my eyes once were,
for years I have spent clawing at them
scratching the blood from my corneas
and draining the tear drops from my duct
slowly depleting myself from sight
because I am tired of looking at the mirror
and despising the broken emptiness.
Thus, I see no evil because everything is dark.

I have shadows where my eyes once were,

and draining the tear drops from my duct
slowly depleting myself from sight
because I am tired of looking at the mirror

Thus, I see no evil because everything is dark.
