In love The grey area Grabs eyes And make dark Sight bereft of light Like Shades on a blind mans face A distasteful state Tastless No tongue in cheek Just expressing No expressions No feelings No impressions Emotionless Motionless Holding this knife tight By the blades Your cries I tried to hear them. Beat the eardrums Til they bust Death to sound Sounds so violent Deaf to sound Sounds so silent I walk away But The sign is Trying to warn Since its Senseless To try to read I'll walk into the street The red light Stops my life short The Road killed Me And left a foul stench But I would never know I never stopped To smell the roses

The Smell of Roses
In love The grey area Grabs eyes And make dark Sight bereft of light Like Shades on a blind mans face A distasteful state Tastless No tongue in cheek Just expressing No expressions No feelings No impressions Emotionless Motionless Holding this knife tight By the blades Your cries I tried to hear them. Beat the eardrums Til they bust Death to sound Sounds so violent Deaf to sound Sounds so silent I walk away But The sign is Trying to warn Since its Senseless To try to read I'll walk into the street The red light Stops my life short The Road killed Me And left a foul stench But I would never know I never stopped To smell the roses
