Round And Round Midnight Sky Eyes
343 wordsThe confusion swirls round and round her eyes, All these thoughts making her mind curl. Every crease, every wrinkle of her brain Aches from trying to understand Why you are so fake. She knows you care, it shoots out your eyes Like cries from a spoiled childs mouth. And yet you surround her with thousands of lies. You keep it all inside, and then drown it In a five dollar liquor. Why take your emotions And lock them away in the midnight sky, Only to fill the space with ill-fated potions? Your lif...
