Broken Smile

by Little Dot   Nov 19, 2005


I smile a broken smile
To hide my true feelings
So you can't see what's really going on

I don't want you to know
That I cry myself to sleep every night
That my heart breaks every time I see you
That knowing I'm not with you kills me inside

This broken smile
Is the only thing keeping you
From knowing everything about me

It's my broken smile
That keeps all my secrets
Locked away from you

You can't see all my feelings
I like it that way

My broken smile
Hides all from you
It hides how I cry over you all the time
It hides my sadness for not getting you

Without my broken smile
You would know everything
I won't let that happen

    I like this poem. I thought you did a good job in calling it a 'broken smile' instead of 'fake' or 'false'.

    This poem comes across as an anxious cry to hide behind a smile. I liked how you broke up the poem with the line "my broken smile"and then carried on to another aspect of the smile. A sad poem, keep writing.
