Wanted the eyes to stick to my body
Sewn into my skin
Never detached
The eyes of everyone
That stared at me in heat
That stared at me with flames
And burned the edges of my smiles
All of their iris I wanted to collect
Put them into my Pandora box
Then take them out when I was empty
Cups that lied laced in stomach
Unfilled
Eyes
Looks
Stares
Glares
I used to stuff
The hollow spaces
Of aqduency that I felt
Wanted the eyes to stick to my body
Sewn into my skin
Never detached
The eyes of everyone
That stared at me in heat
That stared at me with flames
And burned the edges of my smiles
All of their iris I wanted to collect
Put them in my Pandora box
Then I'd take them out when I was empty
Cups that lied laced in stomach
Unfilled
Eyes
Looks
Stares
Glares
I used to stuff
The illusion of hollow spaces
Something called inaqduency that I felt
