Exhale.
The parted lips
was only a beginning

Twisted, cowering,
into a shape
blending with the shadows

Leaky eyes,
dripping face
contradicted the smile.

No. I am fine.
Really.
could you please leave?

Ohh.. you wanna know!!
'm better off
with your knowing smile.

Thanks though, you're kind.
those tissues look better unused
And you can smile.
