Smile

A short poem about love and lies

A woman alone
Sipping her drink
A woman alone
Gracefully she thinks

Do she say
That she’s a spy
Do she say
It's all a lie

He will be shattered
He will be broken
He will be shattered
Once she’s spoken

It worries her
How its come so far
It worries her
Burn like a star

Does she have to
Reveal the truth
Does she have to
Force his foot

She could hide
Behind her smile
She could hide
For a while

Smile she does
The truth is at bay
Smile she does
No one needs to go away
