Your smile has no life
it tells a million lies
it grins to the world
while you cry inside
your eyes have no smile
they've been empty and hollow for a while
there is no light within them
and i silently wonder when
when will the smile be real?
when will you remember how to feel?
when will your eyes continue to glow?
when will your soul return?
it's been so long since your last laugh
though you can pull a face
and fool them all
will they ever know?
will they ever see?
because i know how it feels to wonder
will they ever truly know the pain inside of me?
my smile is grim and cold
this i have not been told
but my smile is meaningless
my eyes are lifeless
because i can hide it all
they will never have a clue
they will never know what i do
when i am left alone at night
when i hold the knife so tight
when i cry those burning tears
when i rely on being fueled by my fears
i look fine
i seem alright
but i will never be OK
not tomorrow, nor today
i fight back my angry tears
and hide what goes on inside
but you will never see
beyond this false smile
behind these empty eyes
never will you know what lies
and waits to be awakened
