Inside and Out
On the outside you see a smile,
One that can be seen for a mile,
It may even last a while,
But is slowly eroded by a file.
On the inside, they see nothing but the dark,
So deep and black and cold, not even a spark,
With sorrow cutting so deep, it leaves a mark.
You see long sleeves over their wrist,
A small detail you certainly missed.
Gone forever, never to be seen again.
