her cheeks
made of sunsets
her eyes
made of a thousand suns
her smile
the shape of a crescent moon
she is as beautiful as a sunny azure blue sky
-my muse

fragile as glass
alas
here she stands
in the hands of wrath
my girl
made of porcelain and glass
has risen at last
-proud

hello?
is anyone there?
i'm stuck here
6 feet under
beneath the dirt and critters
rotting away...
why did everyone stop visiting?
hello?!
did they forget about me??
i'm still here!!
dissolving into the soil
6 feet under
-forgotten

you don't hear my cries
you don't see my pain
you stay silent in your pretend world
drifting in and out of reality
a slumbering beast
hidden away in his dungeon
leaving me to be your responsibility
since when did your 7 year old daughter turn into your mother?
i cry
as you drink away your troubles
mind turned to mush
your eyes
a gaping void into nothingness
your heart
aching like a beaten dog
lifeless and numb
what happened to you?
where'd you go?
now you're this sad faceless man
a hollow shell of who you used to be
a shadow
-daughter

i cry
all those who watch
stay quiet with their silent eyes
i weep
the tears burn my skin
i see them stare with their shy eyes
they watch me beg on my worn knees
"please help me" i wail
yet they just take curious glances
watching with their silent eyes
as i cry
-polina norris

that fire in your eyes
extinguished
a pile of burning embers is all that's left
-lost hope

my fingertips
stained red
trying to paint a future for us
why'd you have to leave
-broken promises
