Behind the scenes

Can you tell if I’ve been crying?

Head down. Pretending.

In the shower.

There. There. And there.

Those are my tears.

The ones that trickle slowly.

All in vain. Down the drain.

Can you tell if I've been crying?

Next to you in bed. I’m lying.

You're lying.

Hand over mouth. I’m crying.

This sham. The denying.

Look at me! Tell me.

I’m trying. I’m crying.
