I watch from the shadows
Your smiling face, feign
You feign away
Why?
I tempt to ask you
But you look so falsly happy
What right do I have
To take that away?
Your eyes flicker my direction
I smile shyly
And slip in to the shadows
I see you brush the beautiful,
black hair over your shoulder
And I sigh.
You act so blissful,
And it, by and by,
Brings tears to my eyes.
Why is the world
So full of lies?
