keep the pain within; show him what it isn't; mock him with a happy face and the gaiety of someone unhurt. trick him into thinking you aren't bleeding; that nothing bad has happened; or that you've already forgotten; oh yes! let him see the gem that he left, sparkling; letting the sun shine through your core; smiling and laughing, outside; dupe him into surmising that you've moved on from everything; that tears no longer sing you to sleep; that love isn't a knife, buried so deep; do all you can; expound on the many ways to hide the truth from him: that with every step towards normalcy, it's still him that you see. love and loss. #love #loss #yqbaba
