smile
laugh
nod
swallow
cry
make them believe it
make them see
only what i portray
make them happy
make them comfortable
make them breathe in the lie
•
before i leave
before i lock myself away
where i can
grieve
for you
i smile at nothing
and no one
i leave my falseness
in the dust
•
your fingerprints
left on a window
somewhere
your breath
a whisper
stale and distant
in the air
still there to catch
•
your voice
your smell
your laugh
everything was here
everything is gone
•
sometimes i want you back
so badly
i can hardly stand it
sometimes it scares me
how much i would give
for you
back here
with me

I want to erase the tears of all those who trusted in hope; I want them to be left with a smile on their faces.
