Glass Eyes

By Zahgurim

I am the Almighty Shoulder with
the Great Big Smile
What was once seeping through
my pores, is now your pain and
secrets
I no longer breathe for life
I now live in ink

In my eyes, you will find
your lies
Within these pages, you will
find an explanation

I am through with all this
feeling bullshit
I have no right to cry
I have every right to die
All I feel is you
If I kill
It's because you hurt

In my eyes, you will find
your lies
In these pages, you will find
me.

    as you can fake to cry, one would assume you're sad, eyes do lie...but souls pour out onto paper when given the chance...eyes are windows to nothing but the depth you wish to give them. fabulous *~seraph~*

    Almost ominous . . crashing. I can't seem to express what it leaves me feeling . . I'm reaching for words but can't do it justice.
