Tears roll down your cheek

Not the first time you've cried like this

Not even the first time this week

 

Reminders that you are invisible

That you may as well be air

Reminders that he doesn't give a crap

Dismissing the pain

Putting on a plastic smile

Choking back tears in vain

 

I'm good

I'm fine

It was only

My heart on the line
