smile


A smile is but a mask To hide true feelings wether positive or negative To hide tears To hide fears To hide it long enough to finish That task But sometimes..... Sometimes that mask cracks Because you can't continue Because you can't take it anymore Because it finally gets to you Sunlight suddenly marred with mire Color swallowed whole by shadow out your agony and wretchedness pour As it hits the ground it turns to flame Crimson flame devouring all Smile
