What do you know of the pain in my heart?
The smile, my friend, is a deceptive art,
subtle distances, fractions apart,
yet, you can’t see the scars in my heart.
I lie, deaf, floating amidst vapours of past
soaking in stillness ‘neath an overcast,
dreams screams when promises depart,
What do you know of the pain in my heart?
Wordy Wednesday Prompt – Scream
I love how this conveys how we all show the world a certain mask and keep out true problems and self underwraps. Brilliant.

Vapours of past. So beautifully composed.
Deep poetry, so much anguish there.
You captured the sadness and stillness so well…
This is so well done and so eloquent. It brings out the sadness one can feel behind the smile
I love the 'deceptive art' description. How many have perfected the same……
I love the rhyme of poetry, it makes everything seem so perfect. It is so easy to put on a act for others, but we have to face our pain and fears and no one else will understand.
Beautifully written, gradual patterns makes it smooth:)
Nicely done. Good rhyme pattern and eloquent language. 🙂
