Untitled

Shaved head

Chipped nail polish

Hang nails

And an upside-down crescent frown

 

Heavy eyelids

Pale face

Smudged eyeliner

And pigeon-toed feet

 

Long and tangled hair

Bushy eyebrows

Bloodshot eyes

And shaking fingers

 

Hair in the way

Laugh lines

Furrowed brows

And a broken heart

 

Tear-stained letters

An unsaid goodbye

Voices echoing

"Please stay"

 

Ashes drop

Waterfalls smash

Love finally leaves

And a sadness profoundly falls
