Nuance

Smile he said, smile she did
Until he brought the tear with him
But smile she did still
For sometimes, the pain of the tiniest prick mesmerizes
Mimicking the rush of excitement
The subtelity quite unnoticed
But smile she still does, for the choice she made was hers
Until the pain cascaded into something unreal
All that remained : A gleaming smile accompanied by vacant eyes
When subtle nuance contradicts imagined realities.
