Crush

The glass in her heart shatters
Tears well up inside her
Drowning her.

Pride refuses to yield
So the mask remains in place.

Lies and shallow smiles
Wit and banter
To hide the scars he leaves.

She'll be happy for awhile,
Until reality dawns.

If you won't love her

Don't continue to crush her
And let the soul die.

Do not mar the beauty
She so willingly offers.
