A Smile Comes With Silence

How are you? 
     Someone asked me.
     No word I could give them.
     Only silence filled the empty blank. 
     Ah, I forgot there is always 
     this one thing comes together with the silence. 
     They are inseparable one. 
     A smile, not just a smile. 
     A smile that hides thousands of tears,
     turns everyone in front of you blind 
     because silence alone can't help you.
     It can create more worries. 
     Where does this smile comes from? 
     Why is it always with the silence? 
     Silence itself is painful. 
    How painful it is 
    when a smile comes with silence?

 The smile told me,
    Sometimes, silence can become your word too if you are wordless.
