Thin lips stretched into a smile.

Heart thumping

Laughs bubbled up

This was a perfect time to talk

The story on their mind was funny

Memories that were carefree

Definitely worth sharing.

Thin lips moved.

Let the giggles out.

Suddenly they stopped.

They were all uncaring

Thin lips closed.

Oh no,

So many emotions arose.

Laughter.

Smiles.

Thin lips didn't move.

Eyes were glistening.

Why weren't they listening?

The memory was spoiled,

Thrown away like crumbled foil.

Nobody cared

What thin lips shared.

This wasn't the first time.

It was a daily occurrence

Something that endangered their life insurance.

Soon known by being quiet

But inside their head it was a riot.

Beautiful thoughts

They had nothing to do but rot.

Beauty turned to pain.

If only you could hear the thoughts that came and know who's to blame.

Then you'd understand

Why thin lips became so bland.

What was the point of talking

If nobody cared what you had to say?

The bottle rattled as thin lips forced it open.

Thin lips didn't make a sound.

Their heart started to pound.

They left a bitter taste on their tongue.

Those thoughts, damnit they won.

The world started to blur.

Thin lips was no longer pure.

"Goodbye." They whispered.

That was the last thing they'd ever say.

Thin lips closed.

Forever, this time. Forever they'd stay.
