SMILE

SMILE

 

Smile `though your heart is breaking

Crinkle up those baby blues

Pretend you are her soul mate

Make believe there is no one but you

 

Smile, pretend that you don`t hurt

Just think about how she must feel

There are all the others that come first

Pretend that smile is just for you

 

Come on smile it`s not the end

Make believe you are the one

When she crinkles up her eyes and flirts

Just pretend that you`re not done

 

She smiles for Happy Jack

The used car barn for whom she sells

Treat her decent and smile back

Just buy the dang car !

You can write in so many different styles and moods, but, they always have your very own touch. Magic poem this .. sad in its way but, at the end the tonic taken and a smile made.

You have great style and ability, it's wonderful to read through your posts.

Beautiful, yet humorous. You can add a twist to just about anything, I love this nice job.

i know that girl :)
she smiles lots
born with a smile painted on her face
the smile came with expectations
to be the chipper one for everyone else
to hide behind a smile
i smile now when i truly feel it
not to please others

This is interesting although it leave me scratching my head as to which is the sales person. Add to that when I see the name Happy Jack I'm thinking pet products and I'm thoroughly confused lol. It's interesting to say the least.

Nice & smooth, you made me believe that you were hurting, true emotions, some pain, relieved with your last line, the hurt went away.
Thanks for sharing.
