our smiles

[hope101]

i saw you today
you looked over me
i smiled at you
you looked through me
i was wearing my mask
your eyes were glazed over
i felt sad
you looked beyond me
i spoke to you
you heard my voice as a child's
my words passed over you
i remember you when you were real
i wonder if you remembered me when I was real too
i missed you today
you missed me
I miss us
when we were real
before when our smiles weren't masks

Lovely poem...I'm sorry for your obvious pain.
