Just to hide everything

You can see the smile plastered on her face
You can hear the laugh echoed around you
You can touch the smooth skin tanned by the sun
You can smell the floral perfume lingered on her skin
You can taste the sarcasm released in to the air on your tongue

She looks so happy when she laughs
She sounds so content when she tells the story
She feels so calm when she hugs you
She smells so compelling when you inhale the heavy scent of freesia
She tastes so humorous when she jokes

Her appearance
Her sound
Her touch
Her scent
Her taste
Is not what stands before you
Nothing is always what they seem
You see her in a different light

You can only see the callous expression on her face
You can only hear the silence between you
You can only touch the features of her sad face with your eyes
You can only smell the sickening scent of blood settled on her skin
You can only taste the sadness swimming in the air on your tongue

Everything
Her appearance
Her sound
Her touch
Her scent
Her taste
Is nothing but a mask
A mask used to hide unwanted emotions on her face
A mask to hide the fact that she is different
