I laugh, <br />To pretend there's no pain. <br />I laugh, <br />To make you feel okay. <br /> <br />I laugh, <br />Because it's all a lie. <br />I laugh, <br />Because I just can't cry. <br /> <br />I laugh, <br />Because I need you near. <br />I laugh, <br />Because you're just not here. <br /> <br />I laugh, <br />Because you think I'm fine. <br />I laugh, <br />'Cause I'm not okay inside. <br /> <br />I laugh, <br />because I just don't know. <br />I laugh, <br />because I'm gonna go. <br /> <br />I laugh, <br />Because I need you now, <br />I laugh, <br />Because you're gone, somehow. <br /> <br />I laugh, <br />To hide myself from you. <br />I laugh, <br />Because I have to.<br /><br />Dama Tristeza<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-laugh/
