Every time your smile

Starts turning upside down,

When your lit up face

Starts giving into frowns

I wish I could be there for you

Not a thousand miles apart

To tell you it will be okay

To nurse your wounds and scars.

But I'm sitting here, I wonder,

How hard this must be

To smile through the pain

To hide the pain you feel.

But one thing you cannot hide

The glow of who you are

The glow no one can ever steal,

No one can try to mar.
