The End.

kc_opal

There's a sadness behind these eyes,

That not even I can explain,

I thought a tough exterior and a fake smile

Would be enough to mask the pain,

But it's not.

My heart has an ache,

I feel empty and numb.

The delusion of thinking I was happy,

Now alone with nothing is my outcome.

wonderful imagery, and achingly honest
'I thought a tough exterior
and a fake smile, Would be enough
to mask the pain, But it's not.'
