bruised all knowing no speaking eyes
...staring back into your thinly veiled nevermind the rest kind of disguise
those eyes
....silently waiting for recognizable thoughts and expressions
to turn in their repressed graves
..... and search the hollow wind for a little more air
you should have spoken
................................up
but you stayed silent and still and you
(a laugh that resembles a sigh)
were always prone to asking why and never doing anything more about it
..i could have lied
(the eyebrow's raised, the smile fades)
i should have lied
ten thousand little lies
...then we'd wind up with the version of truth
that's being suffocated between us
.....you hold out
i put out
... hands over hearts over hands over mouths over meetings times reasons questions
..................................answers
shake off my memory
... hold on
i think i'm starting to pray
....or was it prey or pry
or did i pray to prey or pay to prey or pray to pay or pay to pray to pry
(a lone and single solitary sigh)
it's gone that moment
faded almost fully jaded
.....like them
those eyes
...fading into some background of my brain
soaking up the soul i should have sold
......the going rate is twice what it was
did you know?
.......................................................i'm moving
