Smiling she remains

by cowgirlstar26   Mar 5, 2006


She lays in his arms for hours
but her thoughts lay with another
she's not happy this way
she's haunted by so many oppressors

overwhelmed by her longing
she searches for him in the dark
mourning for the death of his love
he found a new love to give his heart

clouds brood over
darkness covers the earth
she lays awake at night
challenging her own self worth

she wonders if this is it?
is this all that lies ahead
as she trembles at his touch
remembering the words someone else said

"I'll always love you"
she thinks once upon a time
those words didn't used haunt her, a heart never felt less alive

she deceives herself
convincing a smile to come upon her face
she has no idea
God just look how her beauty fades....

She holds her head up
so proud yet alone inside
she summons her fake twin
she fades into the back round of lies

resuming her surrogate other
as her thoughts disengage
she will remain as she is,
internally dying yet smiling she remains

    Sorry but I'm not even sure the above people actually read the poem. At least to me one liners usually mean they didn't bother taken the time to read or even understand the poem. Or maybe thinking the person will return the favor and comment "Nicely" on theirs.
    "She lays in his arms for hours
    but her thoughts lay with another"
    This is a common romance line. Believe me you might find other lines just the same in some other poems here. Maybe not the same wording but same basic idea.
    "mourning for the death of his love
    he found a new love to give his heart"
    This might be better if you changed the second line or expressed how much something might have hurt. It just seemes almost cliche and I'm sure you wouldn't want that.
    The final two stanza's is where I got confused but I assume that you meant that her twin is really the fake happy side of her. Overall decent poem but maybe becareful of people who don't take the time to say why they liked your poem or how exactly they could relate to it/
