Smile’s facade

We fight

You cry

I cry

Both of us, in a melancholy daze.

Weeks pass by, but nothing has changed

I try to smile, but it’s not really a smile

You see that and turn your face

I become angry and yet sad at the same time

I want to smile again, a true smile

Yet my heart will not allow it

It wants me to wallow in misery

To drown me so that I die

If I am to be sad, my heart wants me to go all the way

For I am one who cannot stand pain

But yet, I try to smile

A facade, if you will

So that I won’t drown

So that I won’t die

So I thank you my last hope
