Fake Smile

by Desiree - Virgo

See this smile 
upon my face,
slightly crooked
with elegant grace?

It covers the truth
with great simplicity,
hiding how I feel,
showing no empathy,

Your intentions were
of hurting me,
and it worked,
I feel pain tremendously,

but I smiled
indicating pleasure,
and the pain
amounts to no measure,

Your words cut so deep
slashing my heart into two,
I have one question:
what did I ever do to you?

I wanted to ask that
but I never did,
I just smiled as I walked away,
and inside I felt timid.
