Waitress

These faces have fallen here before

Tired and blue

A light that bleeds unforgiving shadows

Her olive eyes repeat failure in every glare

A failure that mirrors itself with a foreign stare

Hold it together you'll find your peace

But the pieces are burnt shells that frame regret on every wall

Reflections of olive eyes pierce hole through her haunted heart

She hates that stare

Her smiling face defense to the world

A world filled with olive eyes that fram regret on every face
