A Laughing Mask
Yet laughter graces my face.
The world sees only sunshine,
But I’m lost in shadowed space.
My tears don’t stain my cheeks,
They linger deep within,
A quiet, endless river
Where love and ache begin.
I laugh to shield the whispers,
To hide the cracks inside,
But when the echoes fade away,
There’s nowhere left to hide.
I’m still in love with you,
Though time would bid me heal.
My heart, a silent witness,
Knows only what is real.
Eyes dry, voice steady,
Yet storms rage in my chest.
A battle fought with quiet grace,
While longing steals my rest.
So here I stand, divided,
A mask, a heart, a plea—
Crying on the inside,
Still loving silently.
