here;
stealing smiles.

just close your eyes

8:45 pm its so cold and the world feels empty
the night has come the dark fallen upon me
the stars are shining just a gateway to death
and the clouds are imprints of all those who have left.

the silhouette is silent relying on the wall.
it holes her upright holding her up when she falls.
deep inside there's a crumbling part
who would have known, the cuts in her heart.

the penknife quivers and the wrist shakes.
just a little closer but she lacks the courage it takes.
pull it down just to push it away.
the external slitting will have to wait another day.

the emotions churn and the world spins on.
a million other people but none are her own.
the moon shines for her as it shines for you.
but the different intepretations also shines its way through.

the mirror reflects what the eye cant see.
she sees the reflection and hates what she sees.
the composure is gone and the feelings bare.
tears done her face with the marks everywhere.

gone is the innocence she owned yesterday
it'd disappeared, he took it away.
awakened,unbidden now fearing the dark.
inspired by fear innocence had once hidden and hugged.

holding a teddy enfolding it deep in her arms.
its needed just to be her only calm.
the one thing that'll always be there for her.
then, now, always; forever.
