Fake Smile

I saw them together,

Hand in hand,

Smiles on their faces,

One was real,

The other fake.

The girl had bruises,

Covering her arms,

A black eye,

And a cut across her chin.

She wore that fake smile,

While she held her victims hand,

Her eyes looked into mine,

Which screamed for help.
