His skin is soft,

Yet rough where the scar resides.

He's smiling,

But his eyes show grief;

Sadness.

The smallest glance at his expression makes me want to cry.

It's fake.

And it's so obvious.

I feel so much pity for him.

He's a good person.

Kind, careless, nurturing.

Yet here he is,

So mellow,

Empty.

I turn away from the mirror.

I can't bear to look at him any longer;

To look at myself.

To be honest,

I have no idea why I turned out this way.

Why I've turned into him;

This angst filled person.

I think I just couldn't be happy anymore.
