I feel stupid , I still try

I open the door, I made sure to smile .
Although each one has been forced quite a while.  

Calm yourself , I say to myself and bury my thoughts in the sand. I'm already talking too much, I try not too, and I want to prove that I can. 

I feel stupid when you look my way, in that way. Like I'm your broken other half. I'll only clown and joke around , because I love to hear you laugh.

But I know how our day will end , the same as it always  starts, the entire night spent sitting silently, and at the  furthest space apart 

How much more can one person take , how long will this pain last,. Because I cannot spend another day, pulling splitters from my heart .
