It's more than what meets the eye

WARNING This may be confronting for some

It does not go unnoticed

It looks like drawings

But the kind of drawings

You do at 3am 

When you're alone

With tears running down your cheeks 

And your hands are shaking

It looks like a flower picked 

Many lovers ago

Wilted and dying

It's once vibrant petals

Turning dull shades of brown

It looks like the moon

And the stars

Have all disappeared from your eyes 

And were put back in the sky

It smells like rust and salt 

A smell so overwhelming 

When you realize

It tastes like tears

And hours of lies

Spilling off the end

Of you godforsaken tongue

Like cigarettes to addicts

In alleyways

It sounds like a laugh

That's just a little too loud

Or a voice

That's a little too happy 

Like a voice

Full of waiting

Full of wishing 

But my darling believe me 

when i tell you

It feels like nothing at all
