Lovely Smile



LOVELY SMILE.

How could something so beautiful
Be broken inside

If she said her heart was black
Who would look past her radiant smile?

How could something so rusted
Be shiny outside
So bright, you can't look twice

How could something so small
Be larger than life

And when you see tears in her eyes
You feel a speckle of dust fell inside
Who would believe her life so sad

How can someone so kind
Be tortured inside
The voices in her head
A constant reminder

How could they have known
Her light had flickered out
When her eyes twinkles
Like the stars in the night sky
An angel in your sight
Bears so many demons inner

It's just really puzzling
How they said she was gone
She couldn't live no more
So you just wondered how
I never saw the signs
Was I so blind?

A facade so glam
She had always put up
Everyone believed she was strong
She never spoke up
She had the most beautiful smile
And just a broken life

Indeed the saddest smiles the brightest
They'll never ever know
How broken you truly are
My darling friend
With the lovely smile.
