"I Keep On Smiling" - Original Poetry By Me


Smiling on the outside,
But crying deep within,
My tears are just like acid drops,
They're burning off my skin.


Waiting, wondering, longing,
Time seems to go so slow,
But still I keep on smiling,
Just to let you know...


You were my piece of heaven,
My sunshine in the sky,
But now you're all but distant,
And forever I'll ask why?


So still I keep on smiling,
And you're with me every day,
My tears I keep in buckets,
And they never spill away.

I am sure one day you will throw that bucket away. You will learn to cope and hopefully look forward and not back. Debs x

Hi Maggie May!
Thank you so much!
I almost didn't create this Blog as I didn't think anyone would find anything interesting in my writing or poems and spent months anticipating whether I should or not, but now with all these messages and wonderful people visiting me here I am so happy that I did!! and Gone Back South has sure sent me a lot of new friends here! A very big thank you to that lovely lady!!
Visit again soon Maggie and I will visit your Blog too later, take care!
