Inspired by the name of a fic-I'm not sure whose exactly...but it's about Draco and his smile...I love toying with ideas about a characters true feelings and to be able to do that to Draco has made me quite happy :D

Broken Smile:

So many colorful masks,

Guarding a heart encased in ice,

Enshrouded in granite,

Engulfed in purposeless walls.

Smiles all around-

Smug, arrogant, hateful, jealous-

Broken.

Why does that smile, that beautifully horrid smile haunt you so?

Maybe it's the defeat in those silvery eyes,

Possibly the lack of life in the curl of those lustrous lips-

Whatever the case

That haunting smile

That broken smile

Screams of unfathomable pain and loss

Of someone so misunderstood

As to be thought a snake when truly

He is but a terrified mouse backed into a corner

Trying to live in a world of scorn…

How long can one live with a broken mind,

A broken soul….

A broken smile?

R&R? I don't care as musch in my fics but with my poetry I always love hearing feedback (not that I don't want it for my fics-but poetry is what I write more often lately)
