Eyeliner

by DarkCrystalbtrfy   Nov 6, 2008


Eyeliner hides all your fears
Under layers of blackened tears
Smudged grey under you eyes
Drifting is your heart from all the lies
Deception hides beneath your skin
Because who figures to look deep withen
Surfacing through the ash + the dust
Is your heart bound + crushed
In and out your breathing slows
Once fast paced, now down to a crawl
The air has become thick...lifeless
No longer colors but Black + White
Description of your empty life
So blanket yourself in your armor of fear
Turn around and never look back
Walk untill your feet are numb
Walk untill your eyes are blind
Walk untill your heart fails to start
And there you have it
You have fallen apart

    "And there you have it
    You have fallen apart"

    Very good description of the process of a life now driven to the extrmities of its orignal purpose. The ryhme scheme is at time a little off but the use of metaphor and language helps compinsate for that.
