Look into my scarred eyes,
welcome to my dark life.
Watch as I hide behind
this smile, the tears peering
at you from behind it
like a curtain.

If only happiness was
as certain as death -
and love could be
obtained in a single breath,
and the whispering wind that
once blew so cold
could warm you up,
like a baby suckling
on his mother's breast.
For life would be bliss;
good days past
I'd never miss,
and time would be
but a reminder that
entropy ceases to exist.

*But time is an ocean,
shattering dreams at the shore.
Pain is our greatest
teacher when love can't
blind us anymore.
