Broken Down

I bore it all with a smile Not a flex of muscle Betrayed my expression Not a word said Displayed my inner feelings How insensitive you seemed To me. I bore it all with a straight face Not letting you know a thing Maintaining my composure As always But inside me i crumbled Crumbled like a pack of cards. I bore it all as if nothing was wrong But only i knew that Nothing was going on As i wanted. A smile was struck on my face But my heart was bleeding. I said only what you wanted to hear Only what would suit my occasion And my false expression But oh! How badly i wished You would only once hold my hand And ask, “Are you okay?”
