As light touches skin I'm painted by eyes
They say darkness is in this heart
Tears that never fall
A heart that can't feel
I've been strangled by threads
By people-
By connections and feelings
Strings that held tight till I became numb
I own a cold heart
The sea sank too deep in
I have a dark one
One that hasn't seen peace for years
The eyes that have known me more than others saw darkness
