Her eyes are empty
Leaving holes in my heart.
They have stolen everything
And no one is safe.
Swollen almonds,
The color of wet tree bark,
With thin lashes lined with
Evidence of stress.
A coy smirk teases
In the midst of these
Slimy marbles in the sockets,
Or shall I say "holes"
In her head.
How can she let them sleep
While the turmoil she reaps
Overcomes us all?
She has molded you
And I will never forgive her.
I won't show mercy
On her now.
It's over.
I will put on my innocence
And destroy everything she was.
She won't even know
Where the heaven she created,
By making our lives hell,
Has gone...
But I will,
And I will take that secret
With me to my grave.

Excellent
A nice play with words, to bring out your emotion so raw.And also written with great intensity. -
interesting and almost creepy in some way... well to me it's creepy =).
This is very good and i wouldn't change anything in it (read the editing i did in my contest and you'll see what i mean by change) but i'm very thankful you have incorperated the eyes and even presented what they looked like in full detailed it's quite amazing =)
Good luck in my contest!!! -
