Sometimes there's nothing to smile about
Other times you smile about the nothing
Taunting the nothing as you paint a smile on your face.
A smile that can bright up a whole room.
The same one you shoot at everyone to make them smile.
You paint a real smile on.
The fake one you used to love.
Watch it fade into a deep blue ocean.
See it sink into the darkness, the oh so comforting darkness.
The same darkness that held you when you broke apart
When you felt like nothing it gave you something.
It gave you a purpose
Told you to stay alive when all you wanted to do was disappear.
Fading into the warm light in a house called home.
It showed you home.
Turn away but never forget why you have a real smile.
Walk back to the now empty house your too ashamed to call a home.
