“HER SILENT THOUGHTS”

It was the highlight.
You were smiling at the love of your life that night,
while she was trying to look alright.
For your sake,
she’s willing to pretend
as if her heart will never break.
She no longer cares
if anyone thinks she’s a fake.

Will this always be this way?
Will there ever be better days?
No wonder she’s gone skeptical,
romantically-challenged and dull.
If love is (always?) that beautiful,
then how come this doesn’t feel cool?
Fate, this is beyond cruel.
