I Can Fake A Smile But My Heart Cannot Poem by Reagan A. Latumbo

We used to smile together
You and I wanted to be forever
But why all of a sudden, you sounded bitter?
You leave me alone, my heart wants to cry just like volcano's crater.

Years have passed and you saw me
I fake a smile but my heart said 'stupid' to me.
All those years, I still love without lie
All those years, you are the only one I love and I don't want to deny.

I tried to hide my feelings when you are no longer here with me.
I faked a smile in front of others just to ignore them talking about you to me.
You have me before but why did you let me go?
What have I done to deserve this pain, why I still want to be with you?

My mind says to try again, love you again.
My heart says to stop this feeling, I am just insane.
My heart says just let it go and love somebody else.
My mind says just try and try nothing more, nothing less.
