Frozen in time
On a piece of glossy card

Your cheek pressed up
Against hers,
The corners of your smiles
Meeting, making one
Continuous
Expression of joy

But your smile is stretched
By some hand that's not your own
Unnatural and tense,
I see your dimples pushed
Exaggeratedly deep
For the desired illusion

Of true happiness
