It comes with morning
This settling smile on my face
Plastic, tuggable, and utterly wasteful.
Listless eys try for a gleam,
And meet only with defeated sighs.
A heart knows its plight is not its own,
But still wishes that no one could relate.
Plastic grins like filtered emotion
When I look at you
and you smile back.
I can see the nervousness there,
And I like that flikcer that says you wonder.
Especially since you believe I can't see it.
Plastic smiles metl with the night moon,
Instead of the cold sun.
Look on my face
See a tear
I hope you drown there in realization
That I'll never be the same woman
Simply because of what you say to me.
Don't touch my tears.
The ice burns and confuses the skin.
Watch thosetears.
For there you are...your relflection
And you're forzen in them.
Timeless heartache sinks my kindness
And yet
Frustratingly it floats again.
Damn this bouyant will of mine
I'll have no more of it.

Good write with a lot of feeling.

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run out to catch it.

across the land of dreams. In your heart, I'd always be.

Words said can truly make one a different person .....so much of us is simply made of reactions to what others say to us....

Aching .......well written that is almost tangible.....

I enjoyed it .....

Thank you
