a smile you perceive, but only ironic twist to events is what brought curve of lip, no cruel intention a mask to hide pain of cruel joke by fate played not complicity with the aching you feel this silence is not acceptance, just frozen nonresponse not lack of sympathy, only lack of direction Neural pathways reveal no map to active mind To carry you from your pain yet still I search my face conceals my feelings contradicts my heart So read instead the warmth of my hand supporting your arm as you slip til you recover your balance
