May sights suit you well
Have you smile for a moment
It passes and you resume
Resume to being one
with the emotions of stone.
Smile for me?
Show me you can fake it
Or perhaps mean it
Though there is nothing to smile at.
All the little things that we hold so dear
It's always those little things that we end up to fear
It's like ice cream
How you feed and it soon melts away
Melts in your mouth
Like the foolish wish you had on being happy.
It's like water
How you use it to refreshen yourself
It leaves you for the air
Only to come back again when you need it most
Smile for me
Perhaps laugh
Show me you can find humor
In such saddening things
That you can ignore those that cause your tears to draw forever
To see the things
That only last for the meantime.
It's like that window
That you see everything through
And that you may never touch
Just because of that window
Hide your fears for me
And show me you can get rid of them
By being happy
Whether it's false or not
Whether it's forced or not
Be my blessing
You can frown and cry afterwards
Just as so you're smiling for me
When I leave
Smile for me
Show me you won't cry
Just not in front of me
You've known me for so long
It's time to let go.
Whether you'd like it or not.
I no longer hold the power to keep
My freedom here
As well as my own smile
So smile for me
Make me see your bright face
And turn my sadness
That will always be permanent
To that happiness
Resembled by your sweet smile
That only lasts for the meantime.

^_^ Ice cweam simile. Sorta sad. -
I really like your use of simile in the following:
It's like ice cream
How you feed and it soon melts away
Melts in your mouth
Like the foolish wish you had on being happy.
It's like water
How you use it to refreshen yourself
It leaves you for the air
Excellent use of poetic device to show the fleeting quality of happiness. Nice job and thank you for your entry.
