How Could I See the Devil in Your Eyes?

Just a Bunch of Poetry

By erika peasgoodPublished 8 years ago • 1 min read
I may seem happy and joyful but if you care to take a second look, you'll see much more than that.

how could i see the devil in your eyes,

when all i saw was the angel in your smile,

screaming,..

will do no good,

when my mouth has been sealed

you were the end of my rainbow i never found,

you were permanent ink drilled into my mind,

i said let's hang, so you left me hanging,

you were my necessity i never had,

you were the cancer i needed,

like the bottom of a flame you too were hot and blue,

i can hear your voice,

not loud,

but gentle,

it's my name you are calling,

i cannot see, feel, or hear you,

waking up is the last thing on my mind,

when dreaming of you,

you unfolded me every passing second,

but not enough for me to see passed your dreamy eyes and into the devils iris,

i said it,

clear as day,

but never to your face,

- i love you

i can the loud,

when all my life, I've been taught to be silent,

my hands were tied,

my feet were chained,

i still ran free,

i didn't run away,

to get out of this house,

these poems simply consumed me,

they were my new home,

yes,

i do,

but i will not spend the rest of my life with you,

- i love you

rivers down my check,

earthquakes in my bones,

bricks on my feet,

i am done with life,

black eyes,

black lies,

-you

the boy across the street,

was my first love,

the boy across the street,

stole all my love,

the boy across the street,

killed me,

you were scavenging for me,

until a scavenger came for you,

i cannot love you,

if i am dead,

-inside of me

my words will trap you,

my heart will steal all you love,

my soul will feed you to the devil

when you look at me you will see my smile ever lasting but you wont see the wrinkles of my fading skin. the pain in my eyes of staring into the blank. like walking out of the movie theater and into the light.
