The Heart And The Lie

My heart is aching and feels like it's breaking.
I smile and tell you I'm doing well.
It's a lie, I'm actually going through hell.
As I walk down the street,
I smile at everyone I meet.
It seems that life is going good,
but in my heart I'm screaming.
The pain is too much to bear,
but it seems that no one is there to care.
My soul cries out for the healing touch
of the one that I love so much.
But that one is no where to be found.
So, I smile and wave to those around.
"Life is so good for him", they say.
But what they don't see is the loneliness
I live with each and every day.
So, when you see me and I smile and say " All is okay",
don't believe the lie.
The truth is I'm dying,
And my breaking heart is why.
