I feel you sliding down my cheek

You're so sneaky I almost didn't realize you were there

You creep up on me in strange ways but the most common is through my eyes

But the way you leave a mark, is unforgivable

You wear your Halloween costume all year

Its a smile with braces and en-flared gums

But deep down into my crystal sapphires, people call beautiful

you can see the truth

"Always tell the truth" they say

I am not a good liar but 'i'm fine' has passed for years

only the closest of friends can see the pool of tears I swim in each night
