Looking Into Hollow Eyes
Lost years echo through the silence
reflections shimmer on yesterday's dark days
words float like dead leaves
down drains of honey-covered tongues
dripping from hollow eyes
of passion exposed as a cure
time rushes into small rooms of expectations
lives entwine in a dance of convenience
stripping away souls to forget crippled emotions
that lay hungry and starved in dark pits of loneliness
pain flows down its walls of anguish
leaving pools of nightmares
that ripples over covered eyes
creating cocoons that hang on the eyelids of time
exposed to colder winds of tomorrow
hoping to survive unrestrained
to wait and die another death
from a faceless form whose eyes are never satisfied
wearing exhausted smiles paid for by a lonely soul
craving to be loved
