How to hide tired eyes,
And why do I want to?
Why mask what's dry,
Mask what's cold,
Mask what's scarred?

Why does my taste sour at being uncovered?
Why do my brows furrow at being read?
Why does my mind stutter as you realize-
I'm empty?

I'm nothing - I'm lifeless - I'm dead

So I don't care, I can't, when your breath hitches
When you go still
When I watch your glowing and full pupils trace my dull, lightless iris

When you step back



Why does my lip twitch,
My shoulders tense,
My saliva dissipate,
When I lable the expression on your face


I'm a husk - I'm numb - I'm fake


So I don't care, I can't, when I hurt you


I don't care, I can't, when you leave



I'm cold - I'm blank - I'm gone


So I don't care, I can't, that I'm alone.







I'm sorry...
