fake a smile

& no one will ever know. No one will ever know how damp your pillows got because you cried yourself to sleep. The emotions that stir up your system when every little thing reminds you of him. It’ll remain a secret. Curve those lips into a plastic smile so you can cover up your vulnerability. Wipe that tear off before anyone catches a glimpse of it. Walk it off like it was nothing and brush your shoulders off like you don’t give a fuck. Conceal the pain until your make-up is make-believing. Hold your head up high and pretend there’s nothing wrong. Be strong, don’t crash. Keep yourself together. Because in the end, people would kill to see you fall.
