No emotion,
Creeps across my face.

No tears leave,
My dry, vacant eyes.

Everything about me,
Is hollow and lost.

But what you can't see,
Is the pain on the inside.

Those tears you don't see,
Streak the wrong side of my face.
This is based off of a line from BBC's Robin Hood: "He's not crying, he's laughing on the wrong side of his face." I changed it though, obviously, because that's how it seems to be with me lately. I'm hurting, but I can't show it to anyone because I decided not to explain when I had the opportunity. Anyway, I'm hoping that things have improved, and it seems that they have (for now), but I wonder how long it'll last? 
And if anyone says that keeping secrets are fun, they are wrong because keeping a secret is the worst thing in the world:P

Thanks for reading!!

I really like how you broke up the lines. I can't put my finger on what exactly, but I like it so whatevs.

Sorry you're having a rough go of it. I hope things improve in the near future. Hug
