Entrancing as the view is It's like watching silent movies Where overly painted faces Gesticulate with solemn graces Open to interpretation Until the words appear Surrounded by fanciful borders Innocuously proclaiming The weather is fine today, m'dear And you laugh anyway Because what they just said Is not how it sounded in your head Especially because how they are dressed Lord forgive my misconstruing a torrid expression so ambiguous It eclipsed my ubiquitousness I'm just trying to understand From the arms that are flying and the cheeks that are burning Without the words inferring If it will be a fine day today or If the world has finally stopped turning I need the words to come first Before the screen scene Or else I'll laugh, when I should cry To be misunderstood feels obscene

Empty Thoughts Behind a Bloodied Brow
Entrancing as the view is It's like watching silent movies Where overly painted faces Gesticulate with solemn graces Open to interpretation Until the words appear Surrounded by fanciful borders Innocuously proclaiming The weather is fine today, m'dear And you laugh anyway Because what they just said Is not how it sounded in your head Especially because how they are dressed Lord forgive my misconstruing a torrid expression so ambiguous It eclipsed my ubiquitousness I'm just trying to understand From the arms that are flying and the cheeks that are burning Without the words inferring If it will be a fine day today or If the world has finally stopped turning I need the words to come first Before the screen scene Or else I'll laugh, when I should cry To be misunderstood feels obscene
My interpretative skills seriously ****
