Is life just a stage,
My actions just scripts on a page...

Coming across as not serious
My lack of hope makes you furious...

Mommy's crying, head in hands
Says she doesn't understand...

Second choice and second best
Second place to all the rest...

Squinting into the sunset
Reflecting on eyelashes...

Autumn's yellow evening light
Exploding right out of the sky...

This poem is for my little sister, to whom life...
Secret tears and secret dreams...

Blindly believing these obscurities
Nothing you say will put my thoughts at ease...

10...
Dark eyes smoldering, sharp breath inhaled...
