Smiles to tears -------------------------------------------
His smile
Fireworks in his eyes
His cheeks get brighter
words seem lighter
Always joyful
Until tears roll down his cheeks
A cannonball that makes me weak
Not letting me stand on my own two feet
We panic in distress
As the smile melts from his gentle cheeks
We reach out to grab the stars
To pacify his broken dreams
But these are the moments I treasure most
When he is vulnerable
Unmanageable
Distressed
These are the times when he doesn't help me
Because he can't
Not emotionally stable
Breaking down in front of me
And not because he doesn't want to.
These are the times when he isn't thinking about her
The times when it isn't her face which runs in whisps through his thoughts
A labrynth of torturous love
These are the times when his arms are around me
And not in some distant land
