Behind the Smiles
Behind the lies and painted smiles
Lies wounds that cannot heal
The tormented ache of a forgotten world
And a heart that can no longer feel
The outward laugh, a forgotten touch
Defy the darkness inside
The horror of a mind debauched and lost

another time or place?
Touch the chill upon the glass
and see a tiny ripple,
was it real or in your mind,
did it really feel so supple?
Gaze into empty eyes
