"Baby, I do know! They're brown, a light brown."
"They're hazel!"
Jesus Christ,
She was crying again
I sighed,
New love is so dumb.
But as I think about it now
It felt good to play the game.
I held her by the face and stared into
Her eyes
"See! They're hazel. And they have
Stars in them, see?"
Stars? I thought, "****, she's insane too."
"Do you see them? Look."
She pointed to her wet pupil
"See those tiny black spots next to
My pupil? My mom always said they look like stars"
I couldn't see any ******* stars...
But for the sake of getting the argument over with...
"Oh...oh yeah...sure...I see them, yeah
They're right there!"
You sucker. What a fake. Weak.
I pulled back my head and stared at
Her whole face.
"Baby, you're so beautiful."
She looked up at me
Wet shining stars and all.
We kissed
And she looked up and smiled
Though not a normal smile.
She could smell the blood and
Fear.
