Golden Eye

Golden eye

Staring back

What can I do

To make it stay

I want to run

And love and hate

Myself included

Fate excluded

Gallop and glimmer

Fly and shimmer

Receding deeper

Into the void

The golden eye is gone

Everything is black

Frantic and fleeting

Furious fervor

I want to go back

I want to hide

To flee the blackness inside

I can see you there

Can you see me too?

Can I ask

If you've seen a golden eye?

You look offended

What did I say

They always run away

It's golden and wise

That lovely eye

Where has it gone?

Leaving me all alone

I wish it would end

All the fear and pain

Maybe then I could be free

And happy again

But not without the eye

Where has it gone?

To leave and deceive

And set us all to rot

It isn't fair to live enslaved

I won't take it

Or be a victim

But the hole inside

Grows deeper still

Nipping, gnawing, nagging

Insatiable darkness

Checked by the golden light

Farther than near

Nearer than far

The eye has returned

Magnificently golden

Shedding heavenly light

I cannot stand the darkness

I cannot live alone

Please magnificent god

Don't leave me on my own!

Where did you go

Please come back

Don't leave me in the darkness again
