Dimple Scars
When you smile too much,
it leaves a trace:
a spot that replaces itself
when you smile too little.
And during those days,
when you look in the mirror,
you remember an smile,
but it hurts when you try.
Notes: Have you every had that dark time period when you're too depressed, and when you finally force out a smile your cheeks actually hurt?
Notes 2: I have a pretty deep dimple and whenever I'm not smiling there is a black scar-like thing that replaces it. I call it a 'dimple scar'
