Empty Eyes

A Poem About A World I’m Not A Part Of

Empty smiles

Under empty eyes

Hopeless lusts

Pretty lies

Forget the world

The one outside

Forget the world

Its endless grind

Lose yourself

In my hopeless eyes

My empty smiles

My pretty lies

Forget my name

Before you ask

An empty name

A passing lane

For hours gone

Like fallen flowers

Petals wilted

Before mine have fallen

Buy me a drink

Watch me sink

Down to my knees

Feel the flutter

Of the bank’s drifting leaves

Hopeless lusts

Hidden underneath

My hollow smiles

And vacant eyes

The pretty lies

Hidden behind

My empty eyes
