Tears roll back into her eyes
As she remembers she is not 
Alone. Not in the literal sense. 
Her muted heartbeat aching 
To shout out about everything 
That's hidden deep inside it. 

Tears roll back into her eyes 
Just as she comes to realise  
That she must always be wise
That to let the heartache flow
Would then let everyone know 
That something is very amiss
That her heart is far from bliss.

Tears roll back into her eyes 
Once more her lips seal shut 
Her quiet heart thuds silently 
And she puts her best face on
Even that has become basic 
Her diminishing light shows
Through cracks in her mask
