Hollow Smile
Where did her happy summer go
 Memories of laughter and smiles
 Warmth replaced with only desolate humidity
 Adventures become making it out of bed
 All the love she knows is empty and raw
 That happy summer never got to exist
 Replaced with days spent on the floor
 Tying herself together with a Hollow Smile
 A small upturn of her lips will last one more day,
 If she drifts off missing and wishing
 About the old life she took for granted
 Where everything was true
 Now she can't remember how it feels
 To laugh a laugh that's real
 To smile a smile that's genuine
 To cry tears that really mean something
 And aren't just dripping down uselessly 
 As the only sign that her heart is still beating
