(a/n: forget to post oop)

eyes closed, eyes closed - less safe open, begging to get poked and prodded inside. they'll peer down into heart's end, secrets galore.

but what when they are closed? we cannot see judgment, we pass smiles unawares. eyebrows jump in the mental wonderland, your eyelids betray the movement of your heart.

vulnerable sleep, a defenseless fortress. you were built for solitude. you were also built to house millions.

those so called millions, dancers and singers and broken porcelain. you're going to break and fall. you're going to break and fall and those millions will become billions.

hollow heart, betrayed by a supposedly closed soul.
