Behind Your Smiles Poem by Romeo Della Valle

There is a song playing
And a shadow hidden
Behind your bright smiles
But all joy is suppressed,
When the world ignores
Your agony and pain!

So, let me savor every lyric,
Though my now lonely life
Will never last that long,
Neither my fading memories
Or the shadow
You are becoming
Through the passage
Of the unstoppable time!

There is secret you deeply hide,
Neither in the water or the air
But in your broken heart!
Now, let me give myself
Totally to you as a shadow
And completely vanish
From your tormented life,
Or as a beautiful song,
Forever healing your wound!
Now I remind you that:
Time waits for no one!
