Infectious

It started out just at night, when it was dark and no one would see. Letting the tears fall silently onto my pillow.

Then spread to when I was at home.
I notice things that I wouldn't have before. Like mommy's little eye roll and scoff.

Now the infection has taken over all of my time, day and night. I have learned to fake the smiles and act happy.
