Analysis of Sullen Girl
Wipe your Chin
Watering mouths
Tear held back eyes
Coy smile
Coy mind
Let me in
Let me in
Give me a spout
You entered
Now watch out
Broken bodied
Somber cries
Rocked to sleep by my own lullaby's
Coy eyes
Dripping down
Tears pour out
Sullen girl walks about
The sun comes out
The sky reflects off the eyes
Bright blue
Clear as ice
Soft, delicate, doe eyes
Eager to shine
Eager to shine
Hush your mouth
Say no sighs
Take me in
I'll show you a good time
Minutes feel of hours
Letting go
Waiting to shower
Passion and lust cowers
Broken body for several hours
It's who I was
What I knew
Not what I wanted to show you
It was who I was
What I knew
I wanted to be only one with you
Twisted
Toyed
Feelings destroyed
Scared of the world
Regressed to that little girl
Falling
Fallen.
