Always Lurking

There are still traces
of those shadows in her smile,
Something restraining her
in her movements,
A flash of sadness in her eyes
Right when she looks away,
A little rust in her voice,
Dark crescents and tired lines,
The ripples of a scream
In the ever stillness,
Unheard and unfelt,
An uneasiness
Always lurking.
