Kaleidoscope
Kaleidoscope soul Chameleon eyes Charcoal smudges as he cries Give him a swollen smile Stroke his face with mucky blue fingers Wince as the bruises swell He opens his mouth to speak And is given a cyclone glare The atmosphere turns over inside itself The terror of what he hasn't said Eats me up Chews me and shreds my skin He watches the nothing pour out Curious eyes and eager hands Runs a finger along my battered soul Looks affectionately into my dull swampy eyes Pools of dirt he sees and loves Breathes in the stench of my rotten heart Silent as it beats passionately on the ground beside me Spitting crimson blood in his direction All over his nice clean shoes Caressing my cheek he gives a sigh Whispers calmly a soft goodbye And turns to leave A blood-drenched hand grasps his Desperation in it's purest form Attempt to pull him closer Smearing him in my sadness Coating him in my sorrow Offering him my worthlessness with a big pink ribbon and a plastic smile Who would want it? Feel him running down my face Once I believed he would be here forever With me in this pit of desperation But he was always more Always weaving magic around this domestic wasteland My life My world Ruins Love that is tangled like I am now Knotted and ripped like I lay here now Painted in the same crimson blood that I paint myself with now Wishing he'd come back Love me again like he always preaches he does Does he? Contemplate the idea And scoop up the chards from my glassy eyes Watch him try to walk away once more Through the misty lens of the Kaleidoscope Keep it forever close by Just like him
