No way around that smile,
the famous smile of yours
the ridiculous wide-eyed smile
that means you can fake your way through everything.
--but you can't run away--
What happened to us?
What happened to who we used to be,
there was a part of me that tried to make
everything okay.
There is no way that I can keep going,
and I dig myself deeper
because once was too much,
and sorry is never enough
I hide in the confines of shadows
they cover me with thier warmth
and they allow me to hide inside
the self destructive prism of Good-bye.
I don't trust you.
Not like I used to,
we used to be so close,
but the silence reaches us before we
say a word.
I can't stand the way you looked at me,
the look that I did something wrong.
I can't do a thing to change what happened,
I just need to hide under that rock.
Silence was revered,
and now I cry alone.
Every once in a while a tear would fall,
because I am burying myself alive
while I hide.

Alright, this is a contest entry. This is what came up when the thought of hiding under a rock came to me.
