She Faked A Smile

She faked a smile,
For she knew...
That like others,
You won't get it;
And believe her,
When she lies;
Hides her pain
In utter silence. 

She faked a smile,
For she knew...
Soon you'll forget
That she was broken,
Lost to darknes;
Her tiny world:
Perfect as known,
Crumbling at heart. 

She faked a smile,
For she knew...
Nothing would change:
All was different,
Upcoming battles harder;
Tearful losses many,
You'll leave too; So,
She'll have to survive.

Alone.
