MASQUERADE - by Renee Danielle

MASQUERADE by  Renee Danielle if the eyes are the windows to the soul, then dress them up nicely. keep all of the anger threatening to pour from you behind a locked mouth. nobody asks the person living in a well kept home if she is okay. wear every apology like a thorn. let them stare at the resentment that blossoms from those roots, and let a garden grow from each puncture. they'll let you talk about your pain if you disguise it in flowery metaphors. love is the wide eyed child that beckons you to this address. forgiveness is the 12 year old girl dusting off his promises to change. you have outgrown these faces, but you still put them on because naivety has more to offer.
