DaddyDomNe -> Poem - Something a bit lighter. "Behind Your Smile" (9/26/2010 3:07:25 PM)

"Behind Your Smile" © 2006

Behind your smile, I see you're sad,
sadness I know to well.
It's caused by pain,
increased by strain,
of living your own private hell.

Behind my smile, you see I'm sad,
sadness you know to well.
you know that my heart,
has been to, torn apart,
and I'm living, my own private hell.

I'm lost, in your eyes,
past the scars, from the lies,
to gaze on your bruised, fragile soul.
in my eyes, can you see?
past the scars, that are me?
see as well, lies have taken their toll.

I smile, this time real,
at the fear that i feel,
in the wall, 'round my heart, now a door.
somehow opened by your hand,
in the doorway, now you stand,
afraid; abused by life; yet wanting more.

To your heart, 'round the wall,
rugged ground and I fall.
I'm cut by shards of broken dreams of old.
bits of happiness and cheer,
hopes now shattered by your fear,
here once was life, now all is dark and cold.

Behind the sadness, I see you smile,
A smile reflected by me..
for a moment, pain at bay.
And the sadness gone away,
happy. Now if you could only see.

the end

Excellent poem again, though I do have one question (forgive me for analyzing a bit, it's what I do, it's in many ways all I know how to do)...anyway, when you wrote of smiling for "real" does this mean that all the other times you didn't? Just a query. I understand fully what you mean that often a smile conceals much pain, that's why I wish more people would express how they really feel to your face instead of concealing all the time. Of course, that's not to say that looking depressed and unhappy all the time is attractive either b/c it's not, but it's easier to read someone when they are being true to themselves, and that you were being in this piece of writing at least. Keep up the good work. I do enjoy your writings.

We all, at time, plaster that smile on our face, though that may not be what we are truly feeling. I'm glad you enjoy my writings. i enjoy writing them for the most part.
