My Smile

by Krista Cummings   Aug 31, 2011


(:
There's the smile that I wear everyday,
And you can't even tell that it's starting to fade.
I wake up in the morning, and put my smile on,
And let all of you believe that my troubles have gone.
But truth is, they've only just begun,
How could something so perfect, turn out to be so wrong?
And that one little smile, she's a trooper I say,
She pulls through the bullshit, each and every day.
And when night starts to fall, I pull my smile off,
And she tells me of her day, no longer needing to hold it all.
So I tell this smile, with tears in my eyes,
That I am right here, and it'll be alright.
But I then think to myself, "How long can I lie,"
How long can I hide the loss and hurt inside?
Because the sky isn't blue, and the sun doesn't shine,
And the rainbow no longer tells me that it'll all be fine.
I'm in need of a new smile, one brand new and fairly cheap,
Because this one's past its date... Because this ones, no longer me."
