Fractured Smile Trimeric
Burned and completely dismayed,
cold stare shadows the softest lips;
Longing to feel safe to smile,
never wanting to be hurt again;
Cold stare shadows the softest lips;
They can’t bring themselves to explore
the possibility of being open again;
Longing to feel safe to smile,
yet the chill protected for so long;
Nothing penetrates like a thaw;
Never wanting to be hurt again,
courage slowly melts the eyes;
Fractured smile finally reawakens.
