For All the Laughing She Does
for all the laughing she does
you would never guess
guess how lonely she is
how sad
you would never guess
guess about her life
about her tears
for all the laughing she does
you would never know
know how many tears she cries
how much pain she feels
you would never know
know what happens behind those doors
what happens inside that mind
for all the laughing she does
you would never see
never see the pain in her eyes
see the torment that lives there
you would never see
see the scars in her mind
how they break her
you’ll never see those tears in her eyes
for all the laughing she does
You’ll Never See
you’ll never see the pain
you’ll never see the tears
you’ll never see the blood
you’ll never see the scars
you’ll never see the shadows
the pain that dances through her eyes
the tears that snake down her cheeks
the blood that flows from her wrists
the scars that network around her arms
the shadows that chase her down
the dance that haunts
the snake that slowly moves down
the flow that’s uninterupted
the network that smartly cris crosses
the chase that never ends
you’ll never see

you sure write some dark, sad poems.
For All the Laughing She Does is excellent, right up there with the box. You’ll Never See is good. For All the Laughing She Does could be made perfect.
Did you get to talk to him? Find out what he needed to tell you?
Yes I talked to him…yes I write dark, sad poems, and thank you.
Poetry is in your soul.
Well done.
