Broken...Heavy...Sad...Tears

Broken...Heavy...Sad...Tears.
Heart continues beating through the fear.

She is pursued... wanted...desired.
No emotion stirs...no spark...no fire.

She does things hoping to feel again.
Reckless adventure, throwing caution to the wind.

Caught up in the moment...hurried...breathless.
Pleading her heart to flutter and outrun the restlessness.

They say she is beautiful...Both inside and out.
But they don't know her secrets are too many to count.
 
When she looks in the mirror she sees the shadowed eyes.
The memories not buried deep enough to hide.

The loneliness is persistent...ever present in her heart.
She pretends to be in love hoping to break the wall apart.

How long can she fake it...can she fool the crowd?
How long can she hide her sadness with a smile?
