Broken
The glaze in her eyes
Isn’t of love or hate
Sorrow or remorse
The lines under her eyes
Drop down tired
Staying up nights not being able to sleep
Trying not to see what has been seen
Eye lids like a door with the hinge broken
Almost closes but never does
The weight pushing down trying to make her eyes close
Like gravity pulling on the earth
Her nails are chipping away
Like her life
when the paint is gone so will she
They never used to be like this
Always neat and clean
Perfect and shinny
Her face pale with no emotion
No makeup
Lines of black dripping from her eyes
Down to her thighs
She is broken
Isn’t of love or hate
Sorrow or remorse
The lines under her eyes
Drop down tired
Staying up nights not being able to sleep
Trying not to see what has been seen
Eye lids like a door with the hinge broken
Almost closes but never does
The weight pushing down trying to make her eyes close
Like gravity pulling on the earth
Her nails are chipping away
Like her life
when the paint is gone so will she
They never used to be like this
Always neat and clean
Perfect and shinny
Her face pale with no emotion
No makeup
Lines of black dripping from her eyes
Down to her thighs
She is broken
