Sweet Nonexistence
Smiles, laughter, chatter,
I can do those things.
I am an actress
pretending to be like you.
I feel nothing of what I pretend.
My soul is wrapped in death.
No one sees its black ribbon ,
tied with such care.
I am an actress,
bringing sun, and warmth
feigning hope
my reality has none.
My reward for a part well played
sweet nonexistence.

This almost made me cry. Finding someone that shares a similar pain, always seems to give me comfort, as though I am not as alone as I thought. Beautifuly written and expressed
There is a twisted comfort in knowing that you are not alone in the dark. Thank you for your kind words.
