A Child's Lament

I hope you know
That when I smile
My heart doesn't smile with me

I hope you know
The cracks inside
Will always be with me

I hope you know
I can't unfind
The horrible truth I found

I hope you know
My young heart
Broke and fell to the ground

I hope you know
That cheating's cruel
And what is even worse

I hope you know
I didn't wish
Upon myself this curse

I hope you know
The tears I shed
Only my pillow did see

I hope you know
My worst fears
You made them true for me

I hope you know
Someday, for sure
I'll tell my heart to forgive

Because, you know,
You are my mother
Whose hugs I'll always miss

Thank you all for #166 :)
