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