all eyes on me
all your eyes on me

narrowing, judging:
every action I do
every decision I make
breathing down my neck
eyes burning through me

you hold me captive
sizing me up as if I am being sold
learning me and my patterns
stalking my hands and notions
pitiful prayers to make it stop

once your eyes were comfort
watching my mistakes to bring me up
perfecting me to be at my best

now I'll fear you'll end me
your eyes twisting daggers in my skin
tearing through my being

make me bleed
if that is where my worth lies
make me beg
if that is what your eyes long
