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.

I can see your poem's protagonist walking boldly into the next chapter of her life's story, smiling boldly. Hurrah! Melani Udaeta May 17, 2022 at 9:59 PM :) Thank you.
