She smiled at him

It seemed so real

How was it fake

It seemed so real

She smiled at her

She smiled back

They both looked real

But both could tell they were not

They looked so real

They could fool others with real smiles

But not the ones also faking it

They looked so real

They seemed so genuine

They smiled at everyone

But when alone they frowned and cried

They looked happy but were slowly dying inside

They faked it until they died

No one knew how fake their smiles were

No one, but themselves and people whose smiles looked so real

They died with that pain

They died looking happy but full of cracks that never healed

But the second before their souls left

if you looked into their eyes deep enough

you could see the sadness

hidden by smiles

the cracks on their souls

hidden away and you would know they were broken

but strong

They smiled at the world

Their smiles so fake

but...

They seemed so real

They seemed so genuine

So they fooled everyone till the second before their souls left

They looked so happy
