oh, smile

i could say
the things that make you smile
cause you know i'm thinking of you at
4:38 am.
i could say the things
that make you smile
cause you know i have 13 minutes
to smoke this cigarette.
i could say the things that make
you smile, cause
you know your smile
hasn't been around, i
could say
the things that make
you smile
cause they're the things
that make you smile,
but i won't, cause
discreetly,
you're smiling, and
i hate it.
you'll never know
my red satin sheets
and
you'll never know
my red satin smile
and you'll
never know my 13 minutes
cause you didn't want to.
and you most likely
didn't ever try.
so draw my face
and write your words
and live your life
without me.
cause
i will never
be that
big
ass
heart
you'd ever love.

  1. This rings differently then the hurt that you have displayed as of recent. Something long guarded is laced behind these words. Like a ghost out of a grave, touching something inside.

    Is there something more to this? The words that sparked this? The trigger that was pulled?

    "That's the time you must keep on trying
    Smile, what's the use of crying?
    You'll find that life is still worthwhile
    If you just smile"

    Nat King Cole...

    There is something to be said for the greatness of s simple song, warp it up with a beautiful dance and life is defined.

    Some hearts just reach out for understanding. Not wanting to be overly happy, not wanting to be loved forever. Just some understanding. I wish I had the way with words that you do, then I could maybe sooth you, woo you... maybe make you smile.

    Oh and also, you never know how hard someone tried. We cant ever understand what it is they are facing inside themselves. We all fight and lose to the demons inside from time to time.

    Well from a stranger to another, you seem to be worth the fight.
