Weak Spots Xxiii

The pretty cast of sorrow—
Hollow, yet comforting, 
When damasked on those lips, 
Or teased upon that fake smile

I see such sorrow inside of her
And weep inwardly,
For I love her gazes 
And hate her mazes

Paler now is the face
And love it more I must,
For the moment I express disgust,
She is gone like rain
Leaving guilt on trickling rooftops

Hollow company—
Is still company, 
And that is why I still love her—
Somehow her smile is real
