My Loss

I felt her grown inside me I felt her disappear I wasn't really aware It certainly wasn't clear I felt him grow inside me I knew that he was strong I thought nothing could harm him Nothing could go wrong I wish someone could have told me How much this would really hurt I never got to meet them Never got to sing them goodnight But there is nothing that can be said Nothing to heal this pain It's all over with I guess I'll start again Put on my smile, my make up Hide my sad expression And no one will know the difference It's nothing but a mission Do people even notice See the glint go from my eye Do they notice I laugh less Do they notice when I cry Of course not I'm a good actress I play my role so well So here I will go again Start the day anew Put on my smile, my make up And no one will ever know. What's happening inside my heart and my mind I will turn my cheek again Leave it all behind.
