I no longer have a glimmer in my eyes

By Gali

When I was young

My head was full of dreams

Of fantasies

My eyes

Shown

And glimmered

Constantly moving

Spitting out ideas

My head became full

Of more important things

No longer

The happy

    For you?

    Should I

    Change

    For you?

    Spilling it onto the paper

    My emotions

    My thoughts

    Painted with blood

    Once I start

    There is no stopping

    I bleed

    Begging for someone
