Become comfortable wearing that mask.

Brown eyes feed you enough to sustain that sculpted smile
Until the gaze breaks
Pulling out liquid sorrow
Nourishing newly blossomed red petals

When the last soul departs
Where yours is free to jump out of its skin
Realization meets your spirit across the room
And your soul asks it to dance
While they waltz back through your pores
A simple epiphany etches into every layer of your mind
Everything you do is for those brown eyes

Always here
Forevermore

I put this together on the night your angel stopped singing
I bleed black ink and scar this paper
Tattered emotions pulled out by the roots and planted sloppily
Broken wings
Broken dreams
I spill these words and paint myself with lies
With any hope, maybe years from now
I am able to spark the light that I put out
And set things right again

Today
Tomorrow
And everyday after
Everything is done for those Brown Eyes
