Devil In the Details

By Laura D August 13, 2016 The devil's in the details Under the blackened veil They seem to wait for me to fail Why do I feel so frail? It isn't found within a word It's never free just like a bird The feeling lies between the seams Those evil things in lucid dreams Imaginary marks I make With every single smile I fake This unforgiving sea of eyes Are full of words I will despise So find the pulse within my neck Its beats just like a subway wreck The endless possibilities of me The way I faintly smell the breeze Please, Give me a reason to believe I only see the burning trees It's what we do to find the truth The innocence lost in our youth
