Smile pt. 2

He looks at me,

I smile.

I hope he cannot see.

He looks at me,

I smile.

I hide the broken me.

He looks at me,

I smile.

Can he see through my mask?

He looks at me,

I smile.

Doing so is such a task.

He looks at me,

I smile.

I wish he’d look away.

He looks at me,

I smile.

I do this every day.

He looks at me,

I smile.

I’m drowning in my sorrow.

He looks at me,

He smiles.

Perhaps, there’s a tomorrow.
