She hides behind a serious face and a crooked smile.
Pretending to be happy as she sticks around for awhile.
Every day she must tell herself that she is in love with him.
But the truth is every day she wishes for it to only end.
Behind her hazel eyes you can see the truth that lies there.
The only complication is he's the only one unaware.
The days that pass her by are wasted away.
The times he doesn't listen her ambition fades.
While the light once in her eyes more and more dims.
For him and his love for her she stands out on a limb.
Even if inside she screams out for all of it to just end.
She recalls what she said when the journey first began.
She once said,she would walk with him till the end of time.
Thou now she walks in circles instead of a straight line.

Wow... the flow and rhyme in this poem were very nicely done. Perhaps you should consider writing some lyrics in the future. Heehee. The end was definitely the best... the final message was strong.
Thank you for sharing this piece with us. It was certainly a well done write. You seem to have a lot of talent... perhaps you should submit something into my contest? Ah, anyway.... uhm, welcome to All Poetry!
