Turn Your Eyes From These Words
Turn your eyes from these words
Ignore the thoughts
dreams are now unsought
Make your mind up
don't really care
Hoping my mind plays
only tricks
Turn my words into my essence
and evaporate in space
Struggle to breath
as my muscles heave
to try and stop the next
caught between then and after
hide my maniac laughter
Take a second in my grasp
and hope to make it last
You can't see me on this page
just the embers of my fade
There is a rock where my beautiful
mouth used to be
stops the me i am meant to be
