silence speaks words,
but my ears hear none,
to you, my lips are incapable of fathoming meaning,
in your eyes they dance in a way you care not to decipher or understand.
those eyes are beautiful,
a warm oak brown with hints of grey,
to me they are empty even in the day,
at night as the moonlight caresses the curves of your face,
i fool myself to fake the love in your eyes that cannot exist.
my hands are equal parts chipped nail polish,
and equal parts bruised,
you have drained all the blood from me by placing your shattered pieces for me to keep because your hands were full with someone else's and it kills me.
it kills me in ways you don't understand,
you held my feet and left my hands,
on the shore of this lonely beach at 3am,
you watched me fall deeper into the ocean,
when you knew I couldn't swim.
