Breaths for Smiling
October 3, 2010
Take a deep breath and smile.
For a simple moment
Everything was just great,
Your laughs, flirts, hugs and kisses
Was what I looked forward to.
Take a deep breath and smile.
I wish you would've told me
Everything I'd done wrong,
Maybe then I could've salvaged
Everything we ever had.
Take a deep breath and smile.
I caught a glimpse of what was and could've been
Everything shifts into balance.
Bitterly broken by you,
Successfully repaired by hope.
Breathe, Smile.

The repetivity is really affective.
I found myself falling more and more in love with this poem as I read on.
You're sort of saying... paint on a smile? And how heartbreak breaks the "perfect balance."
Three words: I feel you.

Whoa whoa whoa!!!! THis is so amazing! The flow is so smooth and the way you wrote this is just beautiful. Wow Geni, you don't even KNOW how much I can relate. Well I guess you do know since you wrote it :) I love you Geni, keep writing and check out some of my new stuff if you get a second. <3
