I find people the prettiest
When they smile
Their nose wrinkles
And the corners of their eyes
Crease

But her eyes creased for
A different reason
The bags under eyes
Sunken
Like forget battle ships
The skin underneath
Hooked on
By imaginary problems
An air balloon of emotions
Caught in a storm
Of question mark shaped tidal waves
And sorrow filled clouds
I can see her
Drifting to the bottom
Like life boats with holes in them.

I watch her struggle
And with every glimmer of hope
Throw her a life saver
But I know
Sometimes you have to
Sink before you swim
