broken smile

Lost in love I used to smile alot,
Now this broken smile is all I got,
A false illusion of the real thing,
Uncomparable to what you are used to seeing,
But these days it is all I know,
To hide these emotions I am afraid to show,
And I will myself to never frown,
Lest they know I am feeling down,
So I still smile and smile alot,
But with this broken smile because it is all I got.
