Tears break my heart,
And I’m torn apart.
Yet I smile on the outside.
I long to see his face,
And to feel his touch.
Yet I smile on the outside.
Life has become…
Lonely quiet and numb.
Yet I smile on the outside.
Missing the way he looked at me,
While knowing we could never be.
Yet I smile on the outside.
A frog clogs up my throat,
Tears threaten as I write this note.
And yet I smile on the outside.
Just wanting to know what will I gain?
When carrying this extraordinary pain.
Why do I smile on the outside?
