Counterfeit Smiles
Losing hope before love starts,
betrayal corrupts the soul.
And in freshly broken hearts,
confusion exacts a toll.
Gathering clouds, sense your mood,
crying, dribbling drops of rain.
And suddenly, a storm's brewed,
as they weep for all your pain.
When the sun won't share its light,
your spirit struggles to cope.
And haunts the shadows of Night;
where counterfeit smiles sell hope.
Fear and doubt dominate dreams,
for love is nowhere in sight.
And fueled by nightmare screams;
depression turns off the light.
Fond memories add their weight,
to balance the scales of truth.
Yet, a heart broken by fate,
sheds the innocence of youth.
