Twenty one
scared brown eyes
(because of that awful
sense that we are nothing
but dust in the universe)
Wandering while wondering
(Putting pieces of her soul
back together just to
throw some of them away)
Walking through the fire
coming back again
through the smile
(when she burns she
feels so alive)
Endless nights
crying stars
her home
(you stared your
way out)
See her side
into her eyes
when the colour
leaves her face
(know –
she never
moved on)
It was simply easier to walk away.
