A Brisk Smile

Embraced with silence as I called out to you

Kissed with warm tears that slowly shed for you

Hurt hidden behind a brisk smile of earnest 

And as the daybreak came and the sun rose

I realised it was better to make sense of 

To enjoy the beauty and mystery of 

The delicate gift of another day

Rather than all the chaos

You were too oblivious 

To even send my way

- I don't want you anymore

I originally wrote this poem in 2020, I wasn’t anticipating it to be one of my first blog posts. While I knew I wanted to share my writing and poetry and other thoughts on this blog, re-visiting this one was somewhat of a coincidence.
