Here stranded, I sit,
nervous due to lack of tact,
worried endless in the day's cold...
Those eyes flicker, ever observant...
'Rest!', I yearn to say, as I now am silent
and you shall see me gone...
Next moment I move, a tilt of my head,
the eyes follow me, and I ask why,
and something inside says, why not...
I say no, but the gaunt image follows...
I say no, but the haunting gaze swallows...
I say no! Enough, confound me no more,
and then I notice a jerk,
I notice from the corner of my eyes,
a jerk, a twist, and an ever diminishing silhouette...
I have accomplished my goal,
the eyes are no longer on me,
and I feel all alone...
Regret, but swallowed as whole...
