"Painted Smile" :)
Painted smile, feeling vile
regretting the time gone
that wasn't worth the while...
Cry over what?,
how can I miss some thing I never had
but a desire of what I wanted it to be..
I let it go....now what?
Pretend the pain doesn't exist?
but there is one twist
I can't help but miss...
miss the future plans,
on days we would soon have reminisced
Going through the motions
leaving my devotions
open for re-evaluation
I get congratulations
but for what?
For letting go of
eleviating my heart
broken in side but...
I am getting pats on the back
so I fake a smile,
and hold my head up
all the while
pretending the pain doesn't exist
Heart heavy,
I sit here wondering, ...
how can u miss what you never had?
Have broken dreams but too bad.
I will go on, even if for now I'm Fragile
hope they don't recognize my Painted on Smile.
