You walk into the room with a gentle smile
Your outfit is well put together and your hair curls though you deny it
Jokes are made yet always your cautious of their impact
The painting is precise and exact but your critique is brutal
The beauty in your creation is lost in your eyes
The beauty in you is lost in your eyes
The life you live I knew was though
But I never knew how bad it really was
Never did I expect this harsh reality
Never could I see behind your gentle smile
Never did I look beyond your stress
Your carpet is the same as their curtains
Your brave, so very brave
Please live to tell your tale
I care for it
