Mr. Owl

Silly girl

You sit here and lick away at your enlightened lollypop 

Driving him with your silent stares 

 

Open your eyes 

Beautiful portholes 

Holes to your ever giving soul

 

A soul that doesn't exist 

To you….

 

Eyes that spill tears that are very real 

To you…

 

The taste, salty

The trail they leave 

A temporary reminder of sadness down your cheek 

 

Goodness, look at the time 

How long does this sadness intend to last?
