The Look That Pulls Us In

one smile, was all it took for time to stop A fractured frown, skin on bone, halted every clock reasons,melt away like ice,disappear like noiseless sounds further proof of something washing through, filling every crack inside the mind with silky, sickening, suffocating style the eyes lock on become one,twisting through the emptieness,searching in the darkness overpowering the last defences the night is young breathing stops, a gentle touch like lightning burning skin golden drops of bright sunshine,blinding every sin senses grate and taste of wine,pulses bursting through moonlit shadows on the fire,have yet to be subdued sharp air fills the lungs, tempers flair and mask despair fervored, panicked, desparate eyes, searching for a truth calming eyes and twisted lies, deliver like a noose endless days slip away twilight creeps within Its often said,our beds been made but its the look that pulls us in.
