She No Longer Smiles

She no longer smiles She broke the one heart that loved her the most A realization paid with lateness She now tents in the shadow of what used to be her happiness Wishing for the past to be present Cussing the devil every night for making her fall into that trap That trap that deprived her of her happiness She no longer smiles; her bitterness engulfs it all Memories, memories keep her awake With a tear on her cheek Crying for the only person dear to her heart She sees herself as the Judas Iscariot of his heart With every fiber of her heart, she wants him back She misses his laughs, hugs, kisses An unforgivable sin, the knowledge that he is no longer coming back haunts her What can she do with the love that she is left with? Crippled thoughts of what will never be She no longer smiles but she weeps He went away with all his fairytales Stories that he would whisper to her ears as she slips into a dream She no longer smiles but she weeps Love long gone, lost in confusion Replaced by bitterness and regrets A mirror stolen from her, never to appreciate her beauty She no longer smiles but she weeps.
