You cannot see the torn up pieces,
the remains of a broken sole,
a heart shattered,
the pieces scattered,

You can only see her smile

You cannot hear a lonely cry,
a yell expressing unbearable anger,
a subtle weep,
she cannot sleep,

You can only hear her laugh

You cannot feel her aching heart,
hung out to dry,
sinks down like a rock,
her stomach will drop,

You can only feel her lie
