Pretending So Pretty

Nodding smiles in Jester's torture
Nothing escapes the fallen tree
   Close my eyes in hollows hiding
Desperation saddening...

Nothing escapes nodding smiles in hollows hiding. Always be cautious, with those pretending. Congratulations Christian, on second place in the contest. My best to you. ~ Brandy
