It creates cracks
Splinters off
Shatters what is left
Breaks holes in my resolve
The pain leaks into every surface
Make the smile hard to plaster on
Faking the right response
Gauging based on those around
Trying to guess how to react
Don’t have a basis anymore
Plain and bland
Dulled by the pain
I can’t seem to run away from
Can’t escape
Will it ease up
Anytime soon
