your eye shade looks like new it has been three days since you've bathed you've been crying but your eyes look like glass i cannot count the drops of heart in them you sit, and smoke, like a thousand poems have said wrong eyes through the blue cloud and your glass, rolls on the floor but i cannot count the fractures i tried to count the stars there were far too many so i gave up and watched my glowing steps fade back into wet sand but now i picture you and your eye shade is brand new
