I smiled

in #poetry7 years ago

Smile and the world thinks you got no sorrows in life.
And that's exactly what I do, I smile.
In the worsts of time,
Even when I am falling apart,
Even when it breaks my heart.
Since I promised you, I smile.
Even though she couldn't hear the screams behind my smiles.
Even when he doesn't realise the pain behind them.
I smile.
Because i had promised you that I would.
I smile even if it is fake.
Even when he asked to let him go.
Even though she said we can't talk anymore.
I smile as I had promised.
But in the silence of the cold nights,
When I am struggling to breathe,
When I am fighting with myself for myself.
Do I allow these traitorous tears to escape my eyes,
I allow the darkness to engulf me.
I can't smile even when I promised to.
But in the broad daylights
I walk around with my back straight and chin up,
Fooling them all with a smile.
And only because i had promised you,
Do I smile.!
