There was a smile
That hid behind
A bruised face
And a forgotten heart
There was a smile
That blossomed with
A kiss and a hug
But now it was broken
Like a promise made
By an unfaithful lover
Its shards scattered
Across a plain desert
Moving with the sand dunes
A lost soul; lonely and desperate
Picked up a piece and placed
It on the tip of her tongue
She wanted a taste of happiness
But she bled pain and loss
She wanted to smile again
But she cried tears of
Regret and self-pity

I like the image of picking up one of the shards and tasting it.
It can be so hard to smile again when you feel so betrayed.
Nice write.

I like it
your imagery is well done... one thing though, even if you don't think it is perfect, don't tell anyone, just keep revising it until YOU think it is. no apologies - this IS a well written piece - Kevin
