Force a Smile
Flowers in the attic dead roses on the bed...
A look of depression cause of something I said...
A grab on the elbow, then a frown with distress
Was it something I did, I tried my best...
Not a word at dinner, not even a sentence...
I talked about my day and she didn't even listen...
I thought to myself was it something I missed...
Laying in bed not even a kiss...
I forgot she's not here, she's been dead for a while...
So I look at her pictures...and force a smile:)
