Hailey Burdick Burning Eyes

[Burning Eyes]

Hailey Burdick

His evil eye

A color that only describes violence

His glare, the fixated center of his face fills me with uneasiness Reason enough

Running circles in my head Fighting guilt with small notions of justification For evil eyes taint and boil innocents That light must be snuffed Precise planning and schemes are proof enough My mind is whole My mind is made

But something eats at me Guilt? Perhaps a fear of judgement

Those eyes I hated most faded But born a new fear For all eyes And minds Have the ability to burn
