Treacherous Tears

Treacherous Tears These tear tracks through make up Give me away Red rimmed eyes and rosy nose Say, " I'm not okay"... But if you see me like this Try not to look too close I'm concealing secrets I'd rather you not know And if you give me a sympathetic smile My thin "I'm ok"mask will crack and then I'll Lose this bloody fight with these treacherous tears Wet sorrow will dissolve me And I will disappear.

Nicely written, Crystol. I love the line "I'm concealing secrets."
