Your eyes hold secrets,
feeling so dark and tense,
but you hide them
behind a mask of faceless expression.
Yet, behind the emotionless facade
there is still a brewing flame,
which you never release,
speaking a fear in your silence,
unwelcoming of a single touch or smile.
Who crawled into your veins
and crippled your heart
till must shield yourself without trust
that one hand
could truly help to heal the scars
screaming in their pain
from the times you bite your lips,
restraining the urge to share
all the demons who killed your love?
Quietly, I pass you the menu
which you study with such indifference
waiting to take your order,
but knowing it will never
fill the void
two orbs paint
as such an abyss of dark, sad murmurs.
