You can see it can’t you?

You thought is was real didn’t you?

That smile so bright, the sun won’t avail.

That heart so comforting, the pillows resigned.

That soul so strong, the iron cried.

That aura so securing, the alarm went off.

***

You couldn’t notice could you?

You wouldn’t care would you?

How that smile fades when the curtains fall.

How that heart crumbles when the doors close.

How that soul darkens when the night set.

How that aura weakens when reality unfolds.

***

You could only judge what the world wants you to see

While some of us stumble with a void so deep.
