Eyeliner Stains

By LovedByAMiracle

Eyeliner stains...
shields a naked soul
hides the brutal murder inside
brightens the ebony
conceals hidden scars
blurs visions of insight
that may have led to an actual emotion
somewhere in the vastness.

Eyeliner...
lets you cry unnoticed
brings beauty to innate revultion
hacking away at an already dead being.
provides an entrance
to the extacence needed to distract
from a crumbling dystopia
of internal mutilation.

Eyeliner...
coated thicker each time
masquerades even deeper
that which is already hidden.
enhances the vortex of malice,
self inflicted.
it stains openly
when a state of lifelessness
is empowered to dwell

Eyeliner...
an undamaging addiction?
...unless it stains
no removal for the black lines
distorting spirits of devotion
unleashed inside.
taking part in a massacre
by unknowing intentions
