Your eyes are dark
Your mouth is turned down
Your fingers fidget along your arm
Tugging at those long sleeves

Let no one know
Don't let them see
Darkness suits you
And that's fine with you

Life goes on
But you're stuck in place
They all move forward
Yet you're still stuck in place
Your feet glued down —
Your head facing down

Misery and tears
Sadness and rain

You're a perfect picture frame
Beautiful and golden
Shining bright
And holding a dark mess right in the centre
