I Do My Crosswords In Pen
by On Broken Wings· from It's All A Long Goodbye
Ink bleeds deeper when pressed hard,
Soaks through paper and leaves stains on the table
You don't look how I pictured
You don't look quite how I remember
I'll tell myself, "I cannot surround me"
But some smiles both resurrect, and drain the life from me
I don't tell you everything
It's heartless, and the pictures remind me I'm calloused to smiles
