Can you see the despair in my eyes, Hear the pain in my voice? I wear this smile as a disguise, No other choice. Emotions run deep, Cut like a knife. Your heart I want to keep, Not for now, but for life. Words go unspoken, Truths yet unknown. The bondβs not quite broken, But more a seed to be sown. They say it takes time, They say it takes patience. But things turn on a dime How much longer can I take this?
