Force a Smile

Flowers in the attic dead roses on the bed... A look of depression cause of something I said... A grab on the elbow, then a frown with distress Was it something I did, I tried my best... Not a word at dinner, not even a sentence... I talked about my day and she didn't even listen... I thought to myself was it something I missed... Laying in bed not even a kiss... I forgot she's not here, she's been dead for a while... So I look at her pictures...and force a smile:)
