Paint a Smile

by Chris

Paint a perfect smile
Straight onto my face
Wash it off good
Don't leave any trace
Of our happy times
The days we shared
Hours of togetherness
Back when we cared
But we lost touch
My hand slipped from yours
We went our ways
And closed open doors
Then times got tough
I needed you
My heart was empty
My sadness grew
I silently wept
As you left me there
Lost and alone
I just can't bare
Another lost heart
Or even more crying
I can't handle much
Of anyone's lying
I need someone here
To do what you never would
Paint a permanent smile
The way you never could
