Flashes of Heavy Lashes


drops sinking down to lashes laying heavy. Night calls out loud and girls lay there weary. Breath seeps in fast and blows in their chest. The weight calms her soul but fear strikes her fast. Deserving feels so common, but my god theres no where left to go. Forever lays there frozen, no cars, no keys, no tears left to shed. Bruises red and rosey, her legs shed down broken. Her soul left there hardened, in rocks of golden flashes. Headache grounds her fears, but pain tears her wide. Where did she go? Where her mind takes her often. The screams were real, soft and stolen. Her screams were real, I'm sorry theres no where else to run.
