My Smile In Ink
I dip my smile in something of an illusion
You know my heart as a book without pages
Pinning your wings to the envy in my eyes
My words bleed through your bandage
This mirror tugging at your shadow
An image chipped in black and white
The edge of my memory follows you
When petals fall hopeless from roses undead
I'll see your false halo in ugly deception
So iron your imperfections and bleach the stains white
Carry an image for when yours melts away
But until then
I'll wish on a star and watch it drop from the sky
Stare at the moon as it crumbles to my feet
With a touch of my hand leaves will turn brown
all beauty will die
