When you smiled, when
you smiled you held me
tight, told
me truths that hid the
lies away when you smiled.

Scarred lips, stain glass
cracked lips never speak.

I saw your eyes light, I
saw them light frosted
constellations,
weeping dew gracing
etches of sun lit eyes.

Liquid tongues, bathing fires
freezing words never heard.

When you smiled, when
you smiled our bodies
shook, naked hands
holding blindly on to
where I knew you smiled once.
