The man with the metal eyes

By creature

The man with the
metal eyes sees no colors,
only lies.

He feels for
his face,
gently grasping,
looking with grace.

Though he is
torn
and nearly
slain.

He was born to feel...
... No pain.

I was wondering if you made this into a song, because it clearly plays out as a song in my head, I really like this tune, or these lyrics...whatever you intended them to be.

i generally write my poems based off my paintings and i do play music so my art can sometimes come out like lyrics.

This is really good! The odd formatting makes for a jilting read and it lends itself well to the message. Welcome to DP!
