Smiles
Once I made everybody happy
With a smile, foolish act, or a hug.
I made everyone smile with happiness;
Their smiles kept my heart warm and intact.
I felt like living.
But over the years, smiles fade;
Happiness fades.
As every smile fades away
A piece of my heart breaks off
And dies.
What's left of my heart dims and grows cold.
I try with every ounce of my soul
To bring back a smile--
A piece of my heart--
But only in vain.
Those that have lost their smiles
Can never be truly happy when I am near.
Many years have passed
Many years of people I care about
Losing their smiles
Recently the final smile--
The smile of someone I loved--
Faded away.
Once I made everyone smile...
Now no one smiles.
Without any smiles
My heart and soul died.
In only a short matter of time,
My body will die as well.
All I wanted in life
Is to keep my true love happy;
to keep a smile on her face;
to see her face beam with happiness and love.
Now if one can't do that, who would want to live?
Without someone to love?
Without a heart?
Without a soul?
Not I...
Not anymore...
