PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

come close

if your looking for those tired lines on my face

they are there

wearing the years

and struggles of the past

painted lightly across my brow

you can see my heart broken

a million times

those countless hours i lay awake thinking



come close

you can see the crows feet faintly

in the corners of my eyes

marking the many times I've squinted

and tried to make it thru the days



come close

if want to see the deep canyons

surrounding my lips and shaping my face

telling you the about all my laughs

all my frowns

all the let downs
