Dark Times Poet I do not know?

Her Mind

Faking smiles for those I love
Seeming fine for those I love
Making this flame burn a bit brighter
Falling apart between night and day
You'd be lucky if you knew the secret she beholds 
Looking through her dull tired eyes at the man who stands with a smile 
All here but yet her feelings feel so far from her own body
Though her lips speak truth
Her eyes tell lies 
Love never really comes her way 
Only heartache seems to find it's way to her heart 
The words that mean the most just hurt her 
For unknown beauty is set on this silver platter 
Never really know what could come her way 
Far from truth 
But in the verge of lies

Faking smiles for everyone to see
Seeming fine for everyone around
Dreaming of the day love finds it's way 
Living the life everyone chose for me 
Hiding behind caving walls 
Freeing these emotions through words
Mounted on the wall like some old trophy won for best fake smile
Hid behind the mask 
These are the nights where the monsters like me come out of the dark
Writing never makes it better
Her mine filled with those jokes and words
Her mind could be a book 
So many words
So much pain
Knowing she just can't wish it away 
Never able to find piece in this life
