Blind Eye

484 15 16
                                    

Her eyes bore like drills

Unseeing into the ceiling

Her mind, a wasted skeleton

Bone dried by incessant bleeding.

The sheets are stained red

An open wrist, a razorblade.

You stare at the scene

Like you always have

Then walk away

Erased from your head.

Her screams float in the air

Trapped behind wooden doors

Happiness dare not enter

When life is such a whore.

But her scars speak the truth

You just don't let it speak to you

So you chose to instead turn a blind eye

And comfort yourself with a blanket of lies.

You chose to live pretending

Only smiles adorn her lips.

That she never feels alone

And a happy girl lives in your home.
