When Your Smiles Have Stopped

A poem about a girl

When your smiles have stopped.
When your face turns away.
When your eyes seem to drop.
When your thoughts seem to stray
to those quiet, secret places
hidden deep behind your eyes.
Where your soul wanders and traces
a path through the memories and lies.
Then is when you age
those years never seen
'cept through a hearts rage
at a world so obscene.
I know not your sorrows.
I know not your fears.
I know not words to slow
your flow of tears.
To put life to your stare
and restore what it cheats.
I have only a kiss where
your sad heart beats.
