there's something dripping from your smile
i've seen it before, though it's been a while
your eyes are swirling with blue
for people turned blindly to you

you open your heart to them
but there's a rip in the hem
of your loose-fitting jeans
stained with their fears

a word is singled out
from your brain it sprouts
into deadly precision
it blindfolds your vision

green eyes turn gray
when your friends go astray
leaving behind a cracked image
and a feeling of coming unhinged

you're threatened by
your own mind
strapped to a wall
that catches your silent waterfall

when they say your name
another plate is filled with blame
and pushed towards you
you see the tears, colored blue
