Smiles Fading Into Tears Poem by sofia mendoza

the days move more slowly, drag on and on
i go through the motions, live life
but when the day is done

the light fades, my smiles turn into tears
alone in the dark again, i am surrounded by fears
then waking up without you, filled with silent screams

it's harder everyday, to push forward, forget about my pain
the sun shines upon my face, yet i'm surrounded by rain

'sh'es a strong one, she's fine! ' everyone pretends
strong i'm not, not even close, they'll never comprehend

never comprehend what a day is like through my wounded eyesw
trapped in a nightmare, fighting every moment, in this world of lies
a nightmare run by a broken heart beating despair no one hears
with empty laughs, broken promises and smiles fading into tears..
