A poem about a broken love and a broken girl.


Those brilliant blue eyes
They used to smile
But broken smiles, they don't lie
You are shattered.

Alone and upset,
This wall you have quietly
Placed in front of your face
Thinking maybe they'll forget.

Not so brave anymore.

Chipped
Is the carefully
Painted black on your nails
Not so precise now.
Details
Simply don't matter.

Shut yourself off,
Hide in a corner.
Muffle your cough,
You are nothing now
But a foreigner.

A stranger in your own home
A thief of your own belongings
A murderer of your own soul
You are shaking.

Three deep breaths,
You will be Okay.

On your unfamiliar furniture,
You lie.
Stare at the creases in the ceiling,
Close your eyes.

Change has got to come,
You know.
Something must be done,
You've sunk so low.

Your world spins
And you fall into the
Unknown
Here it begins.

Your dream,
Where what you are
Is nothing but a tale
And the high pitched screams
Fail.

Here you can create whats farthest
From reality,
Your very own
Mentality.

Here you are
Make-believe.

Perfectly content.

Those brilliant blue eyes
They used to smile
But broken smiles, they don't lie
You are shattered.

In places beyond your dreams,
Beyond your wildest imaginations

You are without repair.
