Her lips once fresh and long and wide, <br />But underneath she hid the lies, <br />I didn't know then of her cheating crime, <br />The smile that lied a thousand times. <br /> <br />My battered heart will take time to heal, <br />It knows not now, what is real, <br />The world now seen in black and white, <br />Through endless days and sleepless night. <br /> <br />She's a single mum; Is it what she derserves? <br />To think that she still had the nerve, <br />To lay all the blame upon my door, <br />And still she asked for more. <br /> <br />She took almost all I had, <br />She took the right that I'm a Dad, <br />And the trust and love that quickly died, <br />She could not take my pride. <br /> <br />Day by day as I move on, <br />When pain and crying have long gone, <br />And no more thinking of her again, <br />I know I'll smile again.<br /><br />Phillip Alan Green<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-smile-that-lied-a-thousand-times/
