Opaque

Mascara’s  running smeared,
the vision has left her faded; 
The road up ahead looks hazy 
a wicked taste of  the unknown; 
A shimmer in the dark illuminated, 
there is clarity in a little bit of uncertainty;
Infinite endless possibilities,
blissfully no clear direction; 
Fireworks light up a constellation, 
she’s addicted to the free things; 
dizzy on the energy around her
she gets high on a stranger’s smile 
the feel of his hands on her back;
lost in the white noise of the darkness,
There is clarity in a little bit of opaque.
