AshesA Poem by Barbara Borel
How we suffer alone, quietly. Keep the tears held back tight. Dying inside, explosions already. The eyes don't give us away. Smile through the pain. Curtsy with a broken leg. Blow kisses with dead fingers. That pretty face is falling off. Keep smiling. Don't let them find out you are a farce and a phony. Hell is an all to familiar place for you now. An angel gave you a heart of gold and threw it down a hole. Straight to Hell. You're on fire and now turning to ashes now. Don't let them know. Smell pretty, blow kisses, and curtsy. In your pile of ashes.
