In this little smile sack
I have composed for you
is a yellow happy face
to make your day less blue.
...
Your face is like a tender rose
ready to be embraced.
The soft glow of your eyes
hypnotically soothes my pain.
...
As I step out the door and feel my feet
hit the crisp, frozen ground
and the cold, brisk air engulfs my body
as it howls all around,
...
I wish that everything could go back
to the way it all was before.
Before you shattered all my dreams
and heaved my heart to the floor.
...
I saw you today.
You were in your own little world
full of happiness and joy.
You suddenly turned and looked at me,
...
The taste of alcohol and cigarettes
still spitefully on my breath,
I catch myself whispering to no one.
My heart blurs what I cannot even see.
...
Your eyes,
that once held my loving gaze.
You arms,
that once held me so tightly.
...
I tried to sleep
as the stars twinkled high above.
Snuggled under my warm, soft blankets,
I dreamed of you.
...
Accept me as I am-
I have no guarantee.
A claim to perfection I have not,
since perfect I cannot be.
