You have lost your smile.

Where is it gone ? I do not recognise you anymore. 

Your lips strech, I can see your teeth,

You could have fooled us,

You could have fooled me.

Howerver, there is no longer any spark;

Your eyes are weeping and I am the witness of a bygone joy.

Forgive these crude words, there are not meant to hurt you. 

 

What is this place that have smothered your desire to live ? 

You are now the shadow of yourself. 

I recognise you on pictures; you were so lively

You seemed so alive in my mermories. You used to sparkle

But that light has faded 

I do not know who you are. 

Present but disappearing and dishearted. 

Where have you gone? 

 

I smile at you, I laugh with you, I talk to you 

But my heart is not in it. 

Each time I see you in such a spirit 

It hurts me a little more 

 

Like Narcissus, you have lost  yourself in your reflection 

And I am trying to communicate with that echo 

Who will not answer;

And I am trying to listen but I cannot understand. 

 

I do not need you anymore 

I have not needed you for a very long time. 

You have been gone for quite some time now, 

I am not even sure you can find your way back 

And yet, somehow, I still believe in you, 

I am begging you, believe in yourself too.
