I'm Taking Back My Smile
And returning all the tears
You slowly walked into my life
But you only stayed awhile,
When you walked on out again
You took with you my smile.
***
You whispered sweet nothings
But always acted super cool,
I thought I’d found my love
You knew you’d found a fool.
***
I wish that you’d let me know
You had no intentions to stay,
You dealt the deck of cards
In a game I could not play.
***
You led me to believe
Things for us were good,
Now you are telling me
That I misunderstood.
***
I only ask now for one more thing
Please bear with me awhile,
I’m returning all the tears you gave
And taking back my smile.

Our Origins Today, I read something I didn't know—one more thing to add to all the other things I didn't know. By the time I grow up, I’ll have a collection. But it was intriguing, and it inspired me to write this post. I hope you enjoy it.
