WHEN MY SMILE WAS REAL
She used her ears to hear,
I used my heart.
I played the dumb-ass,
She played it smart.
My heart is broken over a love
that never existed.
No hesitation from me,
I never resisted.
It is my fault,
I took her serious.
The entire time she
Was nefarious.
I knew peace,
Then came the chaos.
She moved on,
I paid the cost.
The way she looked at me,
That first time.
I believed it was more than
Sublime.
Love is blind,
I was unable to see.
She evolved into
someone she swore
she would never be.
She sliced me with
Cruelty.
From the pain comes
A thing of beauty.
I know my heart,
will never heal.
I miss when my
smile was real.
