Look Alive, Sunshine (Wattys 2015)

High Walls

A smile,
A smile that spreads from eye to eye.
But what a fake smile it was.

A laugh,
A laugh that could be heard for years.
But what a fake laugh it was.

A mind,
Oh what a beautiful,
Yet deadly mind.

Those eyes,
Those big beautiful eyes;
They cried countless tears.

What high walls you build,
They all wanted to say.
But none-
Not one-
Tried to climb those tall beautiful walls.

That was all she was looking for,
All she was seeking.
She wanted to see who cared enough
To climb those high walls.

That's all it took,
That's all She had to see.
To know she meant nothing to no one.
