Beautiful Lies

the sunset makes even the darkest things pretty.
like the tears that run down my cheek, glittering in the sun.
or the dangrous thoughts disguised in pink and orange.
even falling apart feels pretty in the fading light.
it is such a strange feeling.
a recipe of love and fear and hate and loss but being so overwhelmed by the beauty..
so overwhelmed that you lose focus of your emtions and they spill
so overwhelmed that you lose grip of your thoughts and they run
as the ground seems to collapse beneath you
pulling your soul from your body
leaving only the eyes 
of a broken girl
reflecting the beautiful sunset.

    are cold and harsh
    but feel warm 
    and welcoming
    sitting together watching movies
    and watching snow slowly drift to the ground in the morning
    or in the moonlight when all is quiet
