This Smile

How can I sleep with this smile on my face, with your face still etched in my mind?

When I talk to you all pain is erased and my heart flutters in the endless time

You know all the right things to say and how to keep my happiness afloat

You know how to brighten up my day and how to take the words straight from my throat

You do the small things that don't matter, but you know they do to me

My heart is yours on a platter, but you really don't see

But maybe you really do but that's just why you hide

You can see that I want you but you are simply too shy

Everyday I'll fight to the finish for what I really want, no matter the obstacles to take

Sometimes you'll see that I'm simply nonchalant, but know I'll never be fake

This smile is here for a reason, because it was put there for you

I'll be here for all seasons, no matter what I have to prove

Never Satisfied

It hurts to look at your picture, thinking about all the good memories we had

How I could love you forever, but now it only makes me sad

I gave you my heart, and I would have given you my all

But you crumbled it in your hands, and tore down my wall

But I broke it down for you because I thought things had changed

But after all this time, only my thoughts had rearranged

You could never love me fully, that's why we fell apart

We wanted different things, and you could never fill up my heart

I loved you dearly, and I would have done anything for you

But your vision of love was not real, your vision was askew

I'm not really sure if you knew what it was and there was something I could not trust

Did you really love me at all, or was simply based off of lust?

And now that this time has gone by and I've had time to see things through

I know what I would have done to show that I really did love you

But the true thing was you could never fully belong to me

Because with the years gone by, there were things that I could never see

But I see now what's real, and I see things that are true

Though I may have thought love was real, it just wasn't for you

I loved the thought of being loved, and wanted to give my heart away

But you aren't ready for that love, a love to reciprocate

So maybe in time you can finally understand what I really need

But for now, we part ways, because you're simply not ready to satisfy me
