Behind Her Smile
Justice unserved
Behind her smile,
Her tears hidden.
Behind her lips,
Her voice, forbidden.
She has her secrets,
Only a few do know.
If her word slips out,
His sins will grow.
She has seen devils,
In this Angelic city.
They all watch her,
Such a pretty pity.
As the sunsets,
And the moon does rise.
He approaches her,
With a trusting disguise.
Only she knows,
What will happen now.
Her tears, hidden.
As she takes a bow.
