behind their eyes

in some people

a few I could name

a presence in them

behind their eyes

something not right

a spirit within them

not of peace

not of light

in some people

a few on my journey

smiling eyes, faces,

but darkness inside

light not in them

not truly, really,

something tragic

eating at them
