sadness

I open my eyes to wake and see

That all my beauty has vanished on me

No more softness or baby silk skin

For nothing remains but what lies within

My brilliant blues

Pale and gray

All so lightless on this sunny day

My million dollar smile

Was all for show

For being unhappy

It had not where to go

About the Creator

My heart bleeds black and white for you to read like an open book... so don't be shy... take a look!
