Contour Pillows Should Have Money Back Guarantees

Breath deeply and you can smell the cold,
it nears my heart and blankets the soul,
oppressing my night with fears of flight
drawing close as day screams through the shades.
Who could have guessed I was such a poor liar?
The devil knew and was disappointed,
his newest robot was failing on all fronts,
back,
behind.
Swimming through grins and looking to the sky,
my eyes fall out of slow sockets, swollen
and wet from the horniness of sorrow.
I've had another inspiring thought of sorts,
I've made a mess of my sheets and helped
sailors find the sea.
back,
behind
those doors made of ivory tears complete with
pewter handles and cores of fears.
Who's counting the costs of silence, it is golden you know.

I liked this part.

dude don't you hate when you only get one reply. especially seeing as this is so well written. it sort of reminds me of pirates..I'm not sure why.
Good day and Bravo!

There's no reason I'm oversleeping
dreamin' my life away...I'm not sure if I'm still breathing so I'll put on a happy face

haha, ya it does kinda bother me. especially when what i consider to be a lot worse poetry is commented on a billion times. but you will have that. some people just aren't into "deep" poetry. thank you so much for reading.
