late in the day
after a long night
of laughter and painless intoxication
you awake
put on your costume
paint on your face
hiding the cuts
hiding the bruises
lazing away the day
by the pool of water
sparkling like a gem
daydreaming
lost in your minds maze
awaiting the night
waiting for the air
filled with the sounds
of your only happiness
when you can watch your sorrow float away in the smoke
when you can see your true reflection in the bottom of the glass
when the faces of the crowds blend together
seeing it all through different eyes
the eyes of the person you wish you could show the world
the eyes that look at the world for what it truely is
the eyes that disappear when you shut them for your early morning dreams
the eyes that only open in the dark
i love those eyes
