I Watched The Tears Flow From My Face
i don't believe that this feeling has ever
passed my way so gracefully
shown it's face so faithfully
yet under the veil of the darkness,
during the 3 AM struggle for light
i sit
i write
i feel, because of what?
because of a moving picture on a screen?
with words and songs and all of the acting
the fake acting...becomes so real in the mind
becomes so lifelike, so magical
the muscles in my face...in our faces
seem to be seamlessly attatched to every emotion
and as i sit and lightly allow my fingers to pour
forth every emtion that my face is feeling
my muscles have contracted and are pulling
the corners of my mouth upward, creating a delighted smile
to peek out at the world
euphoric
heat sensors in my body detect wellings of extreme hot spots
in all honesty,
i could not begin to tell you why i feel this
in all honesty,
i don't know where i crossed the, obviously fine line
but it has been crossed
and i am currently smiling
and everyone has been forgiven
and everyone has been recognized as human and lovely and beautiful
and quite simply
my body has no idea of how to handle all of this emotion
and therefore, it explodes
with a smile
an everlasting smile
and that makes me immortal
