behind their eyes – v2

a presence within them

behind their eyes

in some people

a few I could name

something not right

a spirit within them

not of peace

not of light

smiling eyes, faces,

but darkness inside

in some people

a few on my journey

light not in them

not truly, really,

something tragic

a cancer growing

eating at them
