Painted hearts dance across her cheekbones

Painted hearts dance across her cheekbones
to hide the obvious sorrow in her eyes
a facade to cover up the scars.
Too many years have passed living in shadow
only to face the truth before her
for she can no longer run away or hide.
She needs to stand strong
that she understands
but can she smother the flutters in her chest?
No more avoiding the inevitable, she says
time to embrace the open skies
even when the thunder comes crashing down.
