Eyes Of Coal -Converstaion w/a Mirror

By celestine_moon

(Me)

::Swallow hard::
He left me sore
Keep in silence
Close the door

You look at me
With eyes of coal
I know you see
My muddied soul

(Mirror responds)

Just put on
Your magic hat
Pretend we're fine
You're good at that

What's the matter
My friend denial
Don't you like
My charcoal smile?
