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