Counterfeit Smiles
Losing love before love starts;
confusion exacts a toll.
And in freshly broken hearts,
delusion corrupts the soul.
Gathering clouds, sense your mood,
crying misty 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 guilt dominate dreams;
when love is nowhere in sight.
And fueling nightmare screams;
depression turns off the light.
Memories add little weight
to balance the scales of truth.
For a heart broken by fate;
lost the innocence of youth.
