With Your Eyes Fixed On Me Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Why with your eyes fixed on me,
And my every step.
With suspicions to keep me suspect,
Has not eliminated your life with threats.
Or bring to you a night of peaceful sleep.

And why with your eyes fixed on me,
To enforce a hunger and a homelessness.
With a diminishing of opportunities,
You 'perceive' brings to you more peace...
That frees you to feel better about yourself,
With a doing you wish to keep.
Doesn't!

I have never been the enemy,
That you wanted others to believe.
The enemy is your insecurity.
With misdeeds you alone conceive,
And those insecurities on yourself released.
No matter how long you keep your eyes fixed on me.
