oblivion, seconded

oblivion, seconded

A Poem by DecentlyOkayWriter
"

when my eyes are shut, you look so pretty

"
oh, and she smiles
that's what I'm after
that and her laughter

roses lined with harsher thorns
happily stay
happily watching her drift away

just keep flipping pages
for those who don't care
still, it takes so long to be aware

when my eyes are shut, you look so pretty
teach me how to spell
how to dot my eyes and cross my tees, not dwell

it's hard to tell whether I'm laughing
or smiling so I can't see
so I can't watch how us turns to me

That is so deep, I wish I could write like that.
