One look upon his face,

one last breath

before drowning in his eyes,

a soft caress in a bed of lies.

As the stars aligned

my heart was his

and I had died…

It’s when I close my eyes 
Where my reality 
Becomes my destiny 

A sad fallacy  
Of a girl who pushed everyone a w a y 
The coward never chose to stay 
 
Who builds BARRIERS
Instead of b-r-i-d-g-e-s 
To heal her stitches  

Who b r o k e  hearts
To use those pieces of stone 
   [ To protect her own ]

A sordid story 
Of a girl who never knew how to say sorry 

Isolated and broken 
Unanimously out spoken 

But when I open my eyes
I step out of the book 
And look… 

Back at those truths
     As only a nightmare 
Convincing myself I was happy
And that life was fair 

She was the girl
With the broken smile.
No one knew it was broken though,
Because she never stopped smiling
Her little smile
No matter how hard life became.
She kept her past
Behind her smile.
