Her Smile

Don’t let her smile fool you,

For it carries many tears.

If you look close enough

You’ll notice her many fears.

Her smile has so much heartache.

It may look simple and sweet.

The pain that hides behind,

It’s hidden way down deep.

Don’t let her warmth touch you,

For it’s filled with pain inside.

The little laughs you hear,

Are of laughter she out loud cried!

When she feels the bitterness of fate,

She hides the painful cry.

Before her smile she tends to break,

But inside she’d rather die!

Don’t let her smile get you,

For it’s infectious as her soul.

She’d never leave your side,

For love is her only goal.

She’s not one to be selfish.

She’s not one to be cruel.

Her smile is her main asset,

But many take her for a fool!

Her smile is her heart’s tool.
