Behing the Smile.

Behind that smile is a life once known. Lost forever. Hidden. Denied. Behind that smile is a pain unending. Constantly burning, brown and unbearable. Behind that smile a shattered set of dreams. Crushed, scattered and forlorn. Behind that smile a tear stains. Scorching and decollated completely. Behind that smile a truth submerged. Never to be seen or told. Behind that smile, a depth incomparable. Chasms, deep and unrevealed. Behind that smile lies a past Tortured, terrifying, and full of regret. Behind that smile a joy Unending, faithful and unconditional. Behind that smile a brown eyed girl Whose past is hidden And depth is securely caged. Whose love is constant and yours. And tears cascading fall. Behind that smile is simply Me.
