In the Dark
We all look the same in the dark
Faces painted black
You can never tell someone’s pain
When their tear-stained faces rain
White, hot streaks of flowing thoughts
That just seem to drown them.
We’re all the same in the dark
You can’t tell if someone’s genuinely happy
Or if they’re faking it
Or if they’re faking their fake happiness
To cover up a forbidden love of sorts
We all look the same in the dark
When their sun goes
& the moon slows
Enough to light our surroundings
But never our dim faces
We all look the same in the dark
The fear in our eyes is no more
The shine in our smile fades to black
Our thoughts, scattered, fill the silence,
We all look the same in the dark
& there’s nothing anyone can do abt that.
