Scheming Eyes

Fri, 11/25/2016 - 14:02 -- gamer23

He dreams of yellow eyes 

Watching him in the night

Surrounded by darkness.

 

He cannot shoo them away

Or bribe them with food 

Before he lays down to rest

In a red sleeping bag he found in a cave 

As the snow was beginning to melt.

 

He can only lay down

And cower under the sleeping bag 

Just a few more inches

And be trapped in his thoughts

Of what could happen during the night.

 

Or worse, 

    in his dreams.
