Vain smiles and Empty Words

[o0o_bubbles_o0o]

All you see is this vain smile
Instead of the tears and heartbreak
That behind it lie

From these forsaken lips
Flow empty words
All meaning has been lost

These hands are cold
Deprived of compassion
To keep them warm

Color has faded
As these eyes now see
Only shades of gray

The song of happiness
No longer audible
If playing still at all

This heart somehow
Continues beating
Holding on to what is left
