Behind a smile.

Samantha chapman

Acrostic
There is a smile on my face, but behind the tears fall free.
I make normal conversation but inside my heart is broken in three.
Because it's you I'm thinking of, all day all week and all month long.
Just dreading the day when you will be gone, till the end you will be strong.
You won't be scared but free, till we meet again in God's harmony.
