lighting you gently with a mournful hue,
your eyes beg for help
but your lips never move.
holding yourself tight from others,
a false light of hope shining
from the windows of the soul
you keep so well.
smiles play across your lips,
but only your lips,
the sense of happiness you portray
comes not from your heart.
secretly broken, hiding from all,
even yourself, the cause of it,
hiding the reason behind the sadness
which clutches at you,
holding you for its own.
