Next time you walk past my cell, don’t stare
Don’t Stare
I’ll leave my windows open
But don’t stare, don’t stare
My door’s wide ajar
Walk on into my cell (Don’t stare…)
I’m a condemned man yet innocent
Come on in and save me
Don’t stare, don’t stare
I’ll hold your hand in my cell
Walk on in, don’t ring the bell
Don’t stare, don’t stare
We’ll share, we’ll share
Lock the doors night will fall
Please stare, please stare
Into my eyes, (into my eyes…)
Let’s share, let’s share
Our love accumulated in a reservoir
Yes nights upon us
At the screen don’t stare, don’t stare
Into my eyes please stare please stare
Drift away in my arms
As we share, we share
One body, one sin, one success, one skin
We share, we share
As one we live, we care.
Yes we care.
Warm sunlight on your face will awake you
However I still dream
Out my door you shift, share, oh share
But you’re on a new solo mission
Number four-hundred-and-twenty-nine
Come back and care
Please care
Next time you walk past my cell, don’t stare
Don’t Stare
I’ll leave my windows open
But don’t stare, don’t stare
Don’t stare.
Author notes
I tried something really different with this poem, and to be honest with you I'm not too sure if it turned out too great.
I'd love some feedback on what you thought.
Thanks

I find this poem fascinating - I used to work in a prison teaching basic skills which is probably why I'm drawn to it. I do think it works with the "don't stare" pieces in as it emphasizes what you're trying to say and it gives the reader more of an image.
