Word Portrait

Your endless smile is mysterious I wonder where you've gone hollow eyes, laughing wrinkles with an uneven complection light rings under your eyes make me wonder what happens late at night at 2 am when children are asleep you sit there prompt, ready for defeat your figure, proportionate the beauty is an ora- examining every glare, every glance every breath until I see right through you. I stand there perplexed to what I have seen who I have become where I have been this mirror is full of dust and I've had enough of trying to be who I am supposed to be shouldn't there be an escape an easy way to fulfill your destiny instead I sit there, index finger on the trigger as I admire your self-esteem you've never been a talker- a selective listener with a gracious presence a life changing smile- ordinary frown that hides the misery. With one single click your beauty will be vanished your loving family and lover with grief if only they knew and understood that it's you that needs to smile it's you that must reveal and retrieve your own destiny
