NaPoWriMo Day 9: The Smile




                The Smile

You smiled when I saw you there
A quiet, calm, convincing stare


But when you turned I caught a view
Behind your eyes the sadness grew


The sadness and the ache within 

Were covered with that hearty grin

I didn't' quite know what to say
But then you turned and walked away


It made me sad, and almost cry
Your smile's really just a lie

  1. This is a clever poem, it certainly captures that moment of someone hiding their inner sadness.
