The man with eyes as big as the moon

I am not myself today. It's like my brain has been turned upside down... When I looked at the sparkling glimmering reflection of my face I saw something different. I didn't see the boy who hid behind the Earth's gravity. I saw a man in the puddle of this lake. He stared at me and past my skin into my soul. His eyes searched through my mind, my heart, and my lungs. He kept staring, even as I walked away. Even after returning to my home, walking towards my bed, and hiding under the covers I could still feel his piercing glare. His eyes were the moon and I was the waves washing away at the shore.
