Lovely Smiles

Lovely smiles
She tries to reconcile 
With herself again
She tries to make a friend
Lovely cowers
She doesn't have the power
So she grabs a pen
What a comedian
Forget
Let go
She knows
She knows, she really should
But sometimes sadness feels to good
And to familiar
Lovely smiles
Pretends not to feel vile
So she can hide her fears
And dry her blatant tears
How long's it been
A month, a year, or 25
She writes to keep the pain alive
Despite the seasons
Lovely smiles
One that goes for miles
But you see her break
She writes every mistake
Lovely smiles
But can't forget her trials
Pen can't be erased
Ink all over her face
