To stay your smile

I miss the days that will never be

with you, here with me

I miss the laughs we would’ve shared

the lovers laugh

for no reason.

The future I miss more than

the past,

for the past will dim

but the future will always

be bright,

Held like a light just out of reach

never out of sight.

I forget the color of your eyes

and even your voice after awhile

but the future,

it still haunts me in the shape

of your sad sweet smile.

Your smile said too much,

that you were hurt

but too strong to acknowledge

that hurt,

Too young for innocence

lost.

I suffer my emotions

and give to you what you need,

A sad sweet canvas

on which to paint your dreams.

I excuse my deliverer

Holy I turn, to you,

A sad sweet canvas

to be so consumed.

My sorrow waxes great

Hurry!  I’m here for just awhile,

A sad sweet canvas

on which to stay your smile.
