In that picture I look happy,
Like nothing is wrong…
Like love is the melody
And springtime is the song.
But that’s just an image of a moment in time
A moment of peace in a place built by sorrow
A mask for the fear and and uncertain tomorrow.
Like clouds cover sun rays
Heartache darkens my joy
I let the tears of pain fall down
Like water onto the soil
When the sun returns it nurtures
And makes love grow
Until darkness comes again
And my heart’s death is slow
You may think I’m hard on myself
Or I’ve given up hope
Regardless of that this is what you must always know:
My smile is a disguise...my laughter is a cover.
for the pain inside caused by love gone asunder
but if it brightens your day, it puts a little light in mine.
If you make me do one of the two consider yourself my little ray of sunshine.
