One Day You Asked Me

One day you asked me why I never smile,
And I tried to tell you why,
But the words didn't come out right,
And I might have told a lie.
You must listen closer,
To what I say,
There is a hidden meaning,
I hide from you,
Everyday.

I am crying,
Because of pain,
These tears I never let you see,
The fears I store inside my brain.
I am crying because I'm scared,
If you knew the world like I do,
You would cry too,
Because it only takes a moment,
To completely crush you.

One day you asked me why I never smile,
But I couldn't say,
I've never told anyone,
To this very day.
If I let it all out,
Where would it go,
No doubt the fear would creep into another's soul,
I really don't know.

I'm crying,
Because of loss,
Though you think it's easy,
I miss him so much.
I am crying inside,
So that you don't see,
A thousand tears that have,
Welled up in me.
