shed thoughts

pause

"every time i look at her, she seems really sad. i mean, look at her eyes."

she stopped
smiling
like the world
just dropped
from her hands
and she felt
everything
around her
pause
like it is heavy
to breathe
and that she
doesn't know
what to do
either to laugh it out
or just cry and
burst instead
because
hearing those words
made something
shake inside her
that for a second,
she forgot to blink.
