Between blank stares
I catch a glimpse of your smile
And watch it fade away
Stuck in a mixture of
Meaningless words and shared giggles
I search for an answer
As my dreams mingle with stars
With tiptoed feet I reach for them
But I stumble too many times
A moment caught in your smile
Is like a thought caught in confusion
The truth is too harsh
Maybe living a lie is my only alternative

arghhhhhhhh you beat me everytime xD why are you so damn good! keke ;p... the way you use the words and create into this wonderful piece you just dont merely write you paint the words as if they're just some sparkling colors fit into wonderful spots which our minds(reader's mind) always relate too.. the simplicity but also profoundness is extremely heart warming to read..
"The truth is too harsh
Maybe living a lie is my only alternative"
you took my line!!! LOL.. this so sounds like me, damn why'd i never thought of it! maybe cause my imagination and creativeness is too limited compared to your wonderful poetic mind xD

The emotions are powerful and the lenght was just right.
The poem seems to point to one moment like the prompt suggests.
The comparisons of sad feelings and hope is great. Good luck!!
