Mona Lisa Smile

Inside she cries
once more she dies 
as Mona Lisa smiles
She paints on dreams
without the means
to live them for a while

On puppets wings
her smile still sings
to fool the world outside
Tho cuts are borne 
from loving thorns
that ravage deep inside

She'll bury deep 
and none shall weep
no tears shall sting blue eyes
Behind the face 
with steely grace
she'll live
as silence cries

No more to breach
nor seek to reach
And so she shall beguile
with precious heart
she'll just impart

Her Mona Lisa Smile
