a face of beauty matters little
when being seen becomes ugly
a smile
uncomfortably returned
And
a look
hastily averted
skin deep, arms length, hidden away, on a pedestal
Terrified to stop, hidden they stay
self hate, miserable shame, torturous guilt, unrelenting pain
a look
desperately given
And
a smile
emptily shown
ugly they become together,
prey for the others
