Tantalizing Hopes

She whirls around like a breath of fresh airSpreading smiles to all those around!She is witty and also commanding - a comboThat's very rare to be found.She has a sunny temperamentAnd sports a smile all day long.She trudges on in life with extreme effortAnd the belief that she is quite strong.People look at her smile and see a common girl.They overlook the desolateness in her eyes.While each day she wars a battle withinAnd comforts herself by weaving a web of lies.There is always an endless abyss inside her,A hollowness which claws her heart out.She yearns for a companion to lean on,Someone to support her in times of drought!Sadly, life has absolutely naught to offerSo she wipes her tears and gulps her sorrows away.She gets up, dusts her back, prepares herselfTo solely face another day.You couldn't bully realityAnd it would most definitely not comply.It's upto you to understand that there is more to thingsThan what just meets your eye!Be careful not to get carried awayBy the fake smile she most often wears.In reality, the sunny glow of her smileOnly reflects the depth of her inner scars!__________________________Follow the journey of Ibrahim and Zahra as they forego their inhibitions, insecurities and finally, fall in love!( Sequel to Shimmering Love but can be read separately. However, it's best that you read SL before you start on this =) )Cover credits @BlackRedHeart
