Forced Smile

I saw you this morning,
And I didn't say a word to you.
I simply glanced at you
And gave you a forced smile
To hide the rejection and self pity
That was buried deep in my heart.

I saw you this morning,
And tried not to burst out in tears.
I choked back all the emotions that
Seemed to bubble up,
The anger,
The regret,
And gave you a forced smile.

I saw you this morning,
And had to fight the urge to
Run into your arms
And let you hold me tight
And mend all the broken pieces of
My heart.
Instead I just gave you a
Forced smile.
