the same fake smile <br />for the world to see <br />to hide all the tears <br />that you've caused me <br /> <br />you see me smile <br />believe its true <br />without realizing <br />what i've been through <br /> <br />the pain is too much <br />such a heavy burden <br />that no one could know <br />unless they've been hurting <br /> <br />too much to bear <br />but alone i must <br />until you realize <br />it was always love, not lust <br /> <br />i wish you'd believe me <br />when i say i love you <br />you may not see it <br />but my heart beats true<br /><br />Marissa Boylan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-heart-beats-true/
