A Bleeding Smile…

Have you ever felt love

like a mirage you can’t hold onto

but a feeling

that makes you witness from a distance

and at a pace you don’t belong in!

Like you know how music rhythms

and how poetry flows,

you know of the riddles and the songs

and you know of the dance between

fire and ice,

but this sensation is still something unknown,

something that makes you a ghost

within your own painful existence.

And you look at the reflection

that shows your true self

but never reveals its true colors,

you picture a laugh

but all you get is a sadistic misery,

you see those eyes

that look at you

and make you feel happy

through every horror

and it makes you feel safe

when life strikes terror.

But you know, your reflection,

it doesn’t change!

You don’t see it flutter,

or unravel,

or even smirk,

for you dwell to find an outlet

that makes everything seem happening,

for change needs a change that shows,

and pain needs a face

through one hell of a bleeding smile!

For reasons are maybe just the answers

to questions we all know,

but have we ever asked,

why did the mirror show itself?
