you're covered in bruises <br />and dark circles adorn both eyes <br />I overhear you say your name <br />and I feel your laughter <br />it shakes your body and mine <br />your body sags with <br />the weight of your world <br />and time hasn’t been too <br />kind to you <br />but your eyes still <br />shine to spite all <br />because you’ve got diamonds inside<br /><br />Jon Edward Walker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/barfly/
