Empty mailboxes and coffee stands,
Time dripping like sheen grains of sand.
My face is a mirror to your illusion,
My face is a mirror to your grand confusion.
Silky dresses and muted city skylines,
Breath leaking out after lost hindsights.
I assume your beauty is here to stay,
I assume your beauty puts me on display.
Harsh words and unwritten sentiments,
Broken hopes leaking from overused pens.
Your eyes poke my brain until it’s bleeding,
Your eyes suck the ink dry every evening.
