hidden

Behind this smile,

Behind these eyes…

Lie layers of hurt

A heart broken by pain and fear

Tears just waiting for a reason to fall

For someone to hold on tight & say 'its okay'...

Just let them fall...

But the world see’s none of this

The smile will stay…

The eyes will mask…

The layers pile on…

The heart stopped beating a long time ago,

It will remain hollow…

The tears will continue to pile up...

One day they will fall, they have no choice… today is not that day though.

For now, 

I just keep pretending... 

Perhaps one day I won't have too...
