Aching Smile

By Shirisha Ponthagani

I took your aggressive approach sweetly

allowed you to stab me with your lies.

Your talks are nothing but a sweet poison

That u always fed me

Always had to save myself from you

Am faking my smile through my teeth

Because it's getting hurt

The tears are flowing behind my eyes

Because am capable to stop them to come forward.

Eyes are burning with anger

That am not seems to avoid

Saving myself for you to throw me away

To find the values of my self

Missing you was the sour feeling

That my soul don’t want to feel.

Standing here, waiting for you

To tell me Go away.

I want to save myself.
