Not Enough Tears

Folder: 
Not So Cute (G-PG)

Tears won't wash it away

They fall and fall and fall

And still the darkness stays



I'm wilting from your gaze

Your touch boils away my skin

Your love is veiled in greys



I cannot hide again

You got so mad last time

Now just tell me when



I'll be good this time

I will not turn away

Just please don't mind this mime



I'll never learn to love

But such things for you

They fit just like a glove



...don't they?

GOOD WORK
ON THIS ONE

I was checking out someone's page and found your entries all over it, so I decided to check out your writing. I stand in awe. Everything I've read is just wonderful. Not only the words but the meanings hiding behind them. Especially in this one. 'Child Abuse' is one of those commons that a lot of people write about. Your portrayal is something to remember. I had to read it twice before it all sunk in. Thank you oh so much for the detailed and honest critiques of my writing. Judging from your words you seem to be a rare breed of humanity. A good person! I look forward to reading more...
I'd love to talk to you...drop me an e-mail if you get a chance...

"Evil eyes, glaring..." everywhere.
Haven't we all seen "this present darkness"?
