A smile, a mask
My half hearted laugh
These are what I am known for
Cheerful, playful I sing and dance
But only for you to merely give me a second glance
My heart, my soul are all but broken
Holding on to the shattered pieces
You anchor me to these worlds
Your gaze, your touch, your presence
Are all wonders to me
I drink them hungrily like a traveler in the desert parched of thirst
Blood ties bind us to one another
A red string of fate attached from me to you
The thread is fraying slowly
Surely in time you’ll notice
My smiles are forced
One day, sometime soon
Our time together will end
I’ll grasp tightly at the loose strings
Until you let go first
By then I hope I’m not afraid to fall
Please tell me what you think

I like this one alot, the imagery is really good. and as someone who does know you, you can never fool me and no way in hell I wouldn't be there to catch you if you needed it.
