Eyes like diamond emeralds broken down
In the sloppy shallow mud.

Crystallised by

Clouds

If that's what's created by your tears
As they hide behind your eyelids
In the dark,
In the deep dark
Where the monsters of your mind meet
Like lymphocytes, phagocytes

Breaking down disease
When fear is a fever that freezes you

Always in your mind
Never in your heart
Always in your head
Never in your eyes

Frozen dead when other actressees
Smash their accusatory voices into you
As you sit there, hiding
Drowning in the wash of their
Beauty, perfection, coldness, inhumanity

I'm always hiding

In the clouds.
