A smile on your face
But in your heart, only pain
You close your eyes
But the tears fall like rain
I see those tears
While looking into your eyes
They aren’t coming out
But inside you it writhes
I know it really hurts
When you’ve lost the one you adore
I wish I could take the pain,
make your smile mean more.
Darkness filled with weeping
Daylight wearing a mask
Acting as if your longing
Is fading to the past
I wish I could take this pain,
A burden so heavy to bare
With nothing to gain
But a true smile you wear
