sometimes we laugh,
but tears always follow.
sometimes we smile,
but inside, we're hollow.
the eyes tell everything,
but not many can read.
genuine care and some lovely hugs,
maybe that's all we really need.
what you think,
isn't always true.
i promise,
i'll be there for you.
your beautiful smile
is what gets me through bad days,
but i cry inside because
it utterly hurts to see your sad gaze.
your lovely kind words,
they make me flatter,
but nothing's compared to
your love that's grown fatter.
honey, with me you don't
have to bother lying,
because i see it in your eyes-
they're no longer shining.
all i want is nothing more
that to see you at your happiest
even though
you go through the nastiest.
because i long to see
those lights again,
together we'll pull through
this horrific pain.
these last few words
i have for you-
you're strong, you're incredible
and i love you.
