Faces

I looked at her, i saw unhappiness through. I looked to my left, i saw a trusted face with one too many stress lines. On my right, sat one who could see me through no questions asked, yet the eyes weren't brightly lit as they used to be. Yet, around us, spurts of laughter, of twinkly smiles. Whats happending to us, asks the mirror. Flicker of disappointment never fails the watching eye. We know all to well. Deal with these expectations first and get past it. You should know these things, honey. Its no surprise.

The days will get by, the strands from black to white. Sometimes i wonder whats the point of all this. The amount of effort put in surely can't equal to what comes out of it. Its just that frown is settling into your face and all i want to do, is wipe it off with a nice big wet tissue.

Holidays, by our definition.
