Imagery

I told you the words won't rhyme,
The birds won't sing, the bells won't chime.
The beauty you held, the truth you'd deny,
The way you'd believe every single lie.
And now you're world is crashing down,
smashed, broken and falling around.
I can't see tears flowing out,
Still in shock, are you in doubt?
Did you not believe me when I said,
That it's over now, it's time we fled.

Go away, it's over now!
Go. Find a way out somehow.

K&R

Staring into the empty reflection
at fading lines from yesterday
trying to redraw the same
to get me through another day

the black stares back at me
the precision mocking my gaze
concealing all that i couldn't see
fall pretense they help me upkeep

Oh, how i try to smudge these lines,
to extend them beyond the eyes
trying to be what i couldn't be,
fake beauty i couldn't conceal.
