Plastic Smile
A plastic smile
and barely warm love
was all I could pull
from the you
that I had come to love.
So many emotions, yet shallow
in their depths,
cried rivers of false tears
into pillows of unrest.
Never enough, could I do
tried and lost in vain
my love for you
taken and cut upon
left bleeding and dying while
you walk away and
smile.

I felt connected to this...mainly because I live this with my own step-daughter. Very real and very true..thanks for sharing this.
