Love Poem: From Behind a Smile

From Behind a Smile

She goes through each day smiling
 trying to please everyone around her.
Making her life appear happy
as they all need to assume it is.
Never uttering a sound of what sadness she holds inside.
Life for her, means going through the day
only to begin the next one the same.
She has become quite good at being happy on the outside,
yet over and over her heart breaks
as she tries to block out her true feelings.
To find an escape, she closes her eyes
holding close to the love she lost long ago.
A love that will forever stay with her
Yet.....only "From behind a smile"
