A Dirty Look Upon Her Eyes [quatern]

by Kait   Oct 20, 2008


A dirty look upon her eyes
Of the hate for her broken heart.
She screams into the silenced night
But no one comes to her rescue

The death of the very best of friends
A dirty look upon her eyes
No understanding of this pass
Left to question why he left her

So much tragic and so much pain
All alone in a world of lies
A dirty look upon her eyes
Wanting so badly to escape

As simple as a bullet hole.
As intricate as a knife\\\'s blade.
A disappearance; What remains:
A dirty look upon her eyes
