Mascara Eyes

By bedazzled

Mascara eyes of deceit, how they lie to you whilst the poison of guilt corrodes my bones and through the pain, I smile. You don't see me, do you? I am just straightened hair and powdered skin, just the reflection of your hopes. That girl is just a doll but me... I am daggered words and forged footsteps, I am prisoner to my heart. And you don't know, do you? I am muted, there's no volume in the blank light of pretend for to speak would be to bleed without your tourniquet. And you don't listen, do you? This secret falls in storms from deep inside for I am not one but two, incomplete and fracturing in the torturous days, weeks, where I wait to hear his voice, to have him inside of me again. And you don't realise, do you? No. I am just gold jewellery, just painted nails, oh I am just mascara eyes.

I really love this. It describes a lot of girls. Put together, but falling apart. Amazing words, also. Better than a lot on this site.
