I find myself hiding
in your dreadful, gentle smile.
It seems to help the pain
as my hearts on standby.

Even though you are gone
My blood is flowing here
From my wrists to the floor
It keeps flowing -
pouring -
trickles -
stops still.

Watching from afar now
You’re going to waste away.
I remember the Winters, Summers -
The actor you were through-out.

The issue's in your eyes -
an inescapable truth!
My heart is empty, veins run dry
still you continue to smile


That dreadful, gentle smile.
