Disguised

I do not weep for you

no tears to wipe away here

I cannot say a lie

I do not weep for you

do you not weep for me?

no tears where there should be

but I live many lies

you do not see my disguise

it is the smile I wear

the indifferent “hello”

I’m lonely, but content

to remain that way for now

I do not weep for you

no; I simply do not weep

my smiles I give freely

but my feelings safe I keep
