At night...
In the dark...
No one can see the tears
brimming in your eyes.
No one can see you tremble
add memories cause violent sobs
to rock your body.
The disappearance of your
fake
reassuring
smile
can go unnoticed.
At night...
When the weight on your shoulders
is turned into
deep
raw
emotion
and alone is echoed
by the all encompassing darkness...
The mind begins
its torment.
