Wet eyelashes

By, Holly Soresso (me!)

Wet eyelashes press against my pillow

Everything rolled into tears

How does loneliness seek me, as it is my greatest of fears

Wet eyelashes sparkle in the bitter night

How can I be on a separate page?

While others act a different age

Wet eyelashes plead for ignorance

Its knowing nothing that makes things better.

Trying to reason, trying to work, but my lashes still get wetter.

Wet eyelashes start to freeze,

My resentment nestles with me

What blinds you to not to see?

Wet eyelashes press against my pillow

My heart throbs with each beat

Wondering why I cannot move,

And how I’ve let you defeat.
