Behind the smile

Look in her eyes and you can see,
behind her smile
is a soul that needs to weep.

She's been hurt by those that are supposed to be closest,
her friends have hurt her by growing apart,
and changing themselves for the worst.

She's helped them,
she's been there,
but where are they now?

She smiles, and pretends it fine,
She doesn't want to show them,
how the pain is choking.

They say they will change,
they say they still care,
but they still aren't there.

She smiles,
but really all she wants
is nothing to have changed.
