The dead of your smile
Sometimes it's hard to believe you're suffering.
Through a pain we humans can't understand.
Though with that smile you must wish us not to know.
The pain of loss and suffering you've had to endure.
And sometimes it's as plain as day.
You stuggle to hide the pain but can't.
And you look as though you'll burst into tears.
I wonder how you ever were able to keep it hidden.
And then you smile as if nothing happened.
And though the smile is brighter then the sun,
you still hurt more then anyone will know.
And it seems to hurt even more, every time i see you this way.
You worry so much about everyone else.
You should worry more about yourself.
Sure, i could say the same thing to myself.
But your heart seems to be breaking for others.
I don't want to see that kind of smile.
When you're sad, you can show it to me.
When you want to cry, go ahead and cry.
And when you want to smile, then truly smile.
