Heartbreak

Ladywithaquill

Your smile is too joyful,

Your eyes are too bright,

Overlook the dark circles,

Forget the horrible night.

Forget the way your tears,

Ruined my new, white shirt.

Forget the way you laid,

Your head on my red skirt.

Cheeks lined with mascara,

I’ve never seen you worse,

The man that made you cry,

On him, I lay my worst curse.

Your smile is a great mask,

It hides your broken heart.

A million shards of glass,

But each one a piece of art.

Each piece a diamond,

That he could never find.

He will always regret this,

And he has lost his mind.

But I know you very well,

You never cry for too long.

Two weeks pass by quick,

You’re singing a love song.

He’s nearly been forgotten,

And hope is back in sight.

Your smile is truly joyful,

Your eyes are truly bright.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I thought this one was going to be another one like "My Soldier", but the I imagined myself as the best friend of a person going through heartbreak, and the ending was inspired by a recent personal experience.
