Behind that Smile

Behind that smile, lies my tears

Been trying to hide it for a long time ,

But it keeps coming back to me.

 

The hurt feels so fresh and near,

I can smell it so strong,

My eyes are heavy, ready to drop the tears,

Yet there is a urge to keep it locked up,

No one has to know how i feel,

Keeping it all behind my smile,

Behind my smile lies my pain.

 

Locked up in my smile is my grief ,

Down in my heart is my fears ,

Maybe i should let it out,

I just might find help if i decide to,

But it’s still locked up inside of me

Then i smile as the tears get closer to my eyes,

Behind my smile, lies my pain.

 

If you look close enough,

You just might be able to see through ,

It is not just a pretty smile,

It is more of an untold story,

Yet I am keeping it locked up in my smile,

Until I am sure it is a story to be shared,

Till then, it remains a song not yet sung,

Behind my smile, lies my pain.
