flower eyes

every night shed go home

water welling up in her eyes

lining her crimson pupils

her mother would open the gate

to her daughters

wonderland

and ask why

why was her beautiful daughter crying?

im not crying shed reply

im watering my garden she explained

i have flowers for eyelashes 

my tears keep them alive

they get pleasure from my pain

i dont mind crying

im sad all the time anyways

she whispered

her mother would never understand

her daughter had the most beautiful garden

Author's Note

why cant i count all the stars

Probably because you are a kind person- you always wanted others to be happy and sometimes this caused for your sacrifices- and that makes you cry.

Nice imagery here.

crimson pupils - interesting turn of phrase
I like the bit about the eyelashes being flowers
Is this an emo poem or is it inspired by the emo genre?

I thought that the ending: "She had the most beautiful garden." --threw me off a little bit here because it implies that the girl has beautiful eyelashes from crying so much? In any case, the imagery in your writing is beautiful. I liked the reference to opening the gates to home/wonderland. Great job:)
