Please wait a while
my beautiful lonely smile
Perhaps just a little bit longer
Let me hide behind you
and let depression know I am stronger
with your crooked design
you distract the tears from falling in line
and with the strength you hold
in this emotional poker, I am certain I wont fold


Please wait awhile
my beautiful lonely smile
hide my grief
and show the world a perception of bliss
but please remain crooked
and let our mediocre deceit of happiness create an opening through the cracks
giving them a view of our melancholy
so eventually
they can reach out and say,
I see you.
