Pretend

The tears swallowed my sight 

Burning my skin 

As the poison rolled down

Leaving the marks

Of its path down my cheeks.

When my hand wiped the tears

Leaving no trail behind.

As the memories hid

Like the shadow in the dark.

Leaving room for the one thing they cared to see:

The sun drawn as a smile in my face

And the tears that had now fade away.
