Smile

I'm trying to get back into the swing of things :)

 Smile

Smile for me,

and all the times that we’ve had.

Though there’s rough times to come,

and many ruts in the road ahead,

smile for me,

if just for a moment.

 

Can’t.

Won’t.

Slamming doors closed before they’re even opened.

Shouldn’t.

Couldn’t.

Words erasing the smile that keeps me bolted to the floor.

 

I know it’s hard.

I know it hurts.

Blue eyes shining behind tears,

Brown eyes clouded with confusion.

Please.

Just smile.

One more time,

                       One last night.

This is truly beautiful. I'm always moved by poems that say so much in so few words. Love.

Well done. Simple, straight to the point.

''Blue eyes shining behind tears,
Brown eyes clouded with confusion.''

I see this as an unwanted goodbye. Love that should've, would've worked. But in the harsh reality, nothing really works out. But still, a smile can rewire a bad day.
Good work.
