Timescape

the air
the leaves
the breeze
the tears unheeded and carried off by the currents
time stands still
but you move on
can't see what is unseen
but you believe in it anyways 
air freezing
asking me to feel nothing
is like telling me not to breathe
the air chilling from the start
behind that smiling face
is a tortured soul
who have found the strength to smile again
