My Face

My eyes are dreary 
They have been open for way too long 
Witnessing 
Experiencing 
But my eyes know this is not the sight to see
My heart is tired 
It has been loving for way too long 
Feeling 
Discerning 
But my heart knows it shouldn't be giving 
My mouth is exhausted 
It has been silent for way too long 
Expressing 
Articulating 
But my mouth knows that they don't care
