I might put on a smile

for the few minutes I see you everyday

but on the inside my heart cringes

But I hold out as long as I may

You might think I've forgotten you

in this break we've taken

but I've started to see you in all I do

cause you've left one big empty chunk behind

Now I cry these tears

in the dark corners of my heart

not for my mistakes,

but for taking you for granted

Now I cry these tears

here alone at home

my fingers trembling

as I translate them into poems
