Jessica
Transfix me with your robin egg blue eyes
Pull me closer to witness the night
But I was never close to you
Though you saw me looking through
You,
You saw it in my face
That I was only washing in a pool of disgrace
If I could change
I'd rearrange
But I'm practically cardboard
And you're locked in an expensive jewelry store
I'm the Crow
You're the obsession
Look hard
And you'll find a connection
