Counterfeit Smiles

Losing love before love starts; confusion exacts a toll. And in freshly broken hearts, delusion corrupts the soul. Gathering clouds, sense your mood, crying misty drops of rain. And suddenly, a storm's brewed; as they weep for all your pain. When the sun won't share its light, your spirit struggles to cope. And haunts the shadows of night; where counterfeit smiles sell hope. Fear and guilt dominate dreams; when love is nowhere in sight. And fueling nightmare screams; depression turns off the light. Memories add little weight to balance the scales of truth. For a heart broken by fate; lost the innocence of youth.
