How Sadly Unoriginal

By ArtemisticSin

Staring at my reflection
In the dark
I tear up the note
He had left me

Look up
Down
Anywhere
But at my own eyes

I leave
Hands shaking
He leaves
Smiling while crying

  • A former member wrote: "Anywhere/But at my own eyes"..a ray of originality and poetic brilliance in an otherwise null write. I understand why you titled it like you did, but it does hold a little something special. Never stop.
