A heart like cemetery
Where every time you wish you had died but did not
A new grave was dug
And part of you was laid

A soul so wary
It does not seem to resonate with your age,
And it is always autumn all around you
And you are the leaves that have been let go of

A skin like porcelain
It does little to keep anything in
And all the light inside of you
Has been extracted.

But they cannot understand
And so you never tell,
You tiptoe around the edge of the knife
While waving back at them

As long as your smile does not falter
You'll be the pretty little star,
Flirtatious eyes
And envious remarks
Following every step you take

You have got holes in your heart,
But so what as long as they keep you afloat?
And life has been falling apart
From a year or four
But today, had turned out to be just okay
does this make sense
