Secret Smile
(from Selena to Severus)
You look at me and I look back,
I see the cool collected self inside the facade
you wait.
You hold something for me only I can see,
Shut to a cold uncaring world,
Bound with the harsh words people have said to you,
Chained with confinement of past anguish,
Locked with fear of letting people in,
Threw the chill of trying to teach others what they do not want to hear,
Threw the hate and spite of those who don't understand you,
Everyday I can see the pain past the mask of calm coldness,
I wait with baited breath every day for the treasure that you hold onto,
Patients is the reward for the solitary moment,
The thing that no one else can possess,
When the day is over and your retire to solitude,
Feeling no longer trapped,
Shrugging off the cloak of darkness,
You look at me and I look back,
Then you Smile.
