Look at my creation
What do you see?
An image of a woman smiling?
She was probably laughing her head off a moment ago
Merriment dancing in her eyes
Is it confusion? Wonder? Impatience?
What makes her smile drop ever so slightly with each
passing frame?
Tiredness? Weariness? Wanting to get this moment over and
done with?
I see a sadness in her eye
Particularly at the last moment
The wattage of her smile
Gleam in her eye has dimmed to black
Her guard has slipped ever so slightly
Almost like a front has dropped
You can see through the smile
To the underlying sorrow in her gaze
This is a woman in pain.
