Lost smile

by deadnalone   Jun 8, 2005


Smile hidden beneath these dusty layers,
So forgotten and so unused,
Smile buried beneath these dirty layers,
A smile all battered and bruised,

A smile without a meaning,
No matching light within my soul,
A smile that's lost it meaning,
From tears flowing out of control,

Why can't I find happiness?
In the places that it should lie,
What does it hide from me?
And why can I only cry,

A smile is a precious gift,
That you should not take for granted,
I wish that a smile could stay,
In the place where it used to be planted,

My lips no longer form that shape,
I think they've forgotten how,
And I seem to frown at myself,
Even just sat here, right now,

I can't find a reason to be,
Let alone a reason to smile,
My life just seems too pointless,
And completely not worthwhile,

A smile dancing across my lips,
A true smile, not the fake ones I act,
I wish they would come back to me,
Instead of fake ones in this mask,

Smile hidden beneath these dusty layers,
So forgotten and so unused,
Smile buried beneath these dirty layers,
A smile all battered and bruised…

    That bit in particular was brilliant, absolutely beautiful work. I dont actually think u needed to repeat the first stanza at the end, still brilliant though! *hugs* xxx
