Why is she smiling?

Why is there a smile on her face
When she is crying inside?
Sadness is taking her over
Like a powerful tide

The smile keeps fading
The frown stays fixed
Is she happy or sad?
There emotions are mixed

Hearing distant voices
Asking if she's okay
What does she tell them
When she doesn't even know?

Why does every glimpse at his face
Bring tears to her eyes?
When he was supposed to be the one
Who sent away all the lies

Feeling alone in this world
When she has so many who care
Drives tears down her face
And voices in her head

Even if she smiles
The pain remains
It only brings more
Hurt and heartache

Glancing at her happy friends
Letting the cheerfulness seep through
Does not silent her lonely cries
Or the hushed tears from falling
