The Eyes

You look around the room and notice no one.

And not like everyone is gone but as in everyone is silent.

Not a word said not even a glance.

You stand in the corner and hope to see just one eye.

They are all concentrated on something different.

One group is talking softly while another looks at their phone.

One watches the performance that makes no noise.

But no one notices you back in the corner.

You think about leaving but you know the door will signal.

You sit silently thinking what the next move should be.

You stand and all eyes move to you.

You notice the lights in their eyes go out.

You look into one and all you see is darkness.

No life and then out of nowhere.

Everything goes pitch black and there is nothing left of you
