Fake Smiles


Why am I so in love?

If she is not by my side

I feel disappointed

Dejected and defeated

Trying to get his heart back like a soldier, fighting and fighting to be back at her side

Being empty without bottom

Trying to get his love in any way

But like every soldier I saw everything finished

My world destroyed, bombed

Wrapped in flames, burning and killing everything that is ever alive

Living in dead illusions

I feel like my skin rots because of the lies

And if you ask if everything "is fine"

I'll tell you if, with false smiles
