Give me an explanation

The last time we spoke,

I forced a smile.

Forced myself to say hello.

No eye contact.

From 6 feet away.

Even though I know,

your smile was fake.

BANG

That string holding my heart together,

explodes.

And the past 3 months

I'd spent

Forgetting every touch

Every love

completely disappeared.

Both smiles were forced.

I wish I knew

the explanation

behind his.

I know we both know,

What's behind mine.
