Yes I smile <br />But behind it <br />Lies a pain <br />That I would like to forget <br />I am mourning you <br />Crying the blues <br />Praying to God <br />Because I don't know <br />What to do <br />Yes we had our ups and down <br />Either way you were always around <br />This pain is killing me inside <br />No one knows the reason <br />Behind the tears that I cry <br />I try hard to deal <br />Hoping that it won't <br />Take too long for me to heal <br />The pain right now <br />Is so unreal <br />Some of it is guilt <br />Wishing that I had <br />More time <br />So that the closure <br />Would turn out right <br />From the looks of it <br />The pain ending <br />Appears to be nowhere in sight <br />People just don't know <br />Nor could they ever understand <br />No matter how hard they try <br />No one knows the reason <br />Behind the tears that I cry<br /><br />Tameeka Smith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-tears-that-i-cry/
