The shadow in your eyes
pierces my heart
silence fills the air
The shadow in your eyes
pierces my heart
silence fills the air
Blistered hands digging in the dirt
sweat silently dripping down
the creation of life
Reaching up high
grasping at the stars
only numb fingers
A trembling in the gut
the quiver in your touch
heartbreak
Slightly uneven
throwing everything off balance
Perfect
Just a tiny tear
enough to cause some pain
not enough to learn a lesson
The silver in your hair
glistens in the sun
timeless
Living for the hustle
Sleep is for the weak
How tragically wrong
Weeds grow through the pavement
Lingering memories gasp for air
A home forgotten
Black rain silently falls
puddles forming all around
my muddled reflection turns away
