Painful smile

You never said a word,
or even shed a tear
when we two parted for eternity.
You wanted to be strong
and never to give in.
Not even when you now are falling,
falling.

But I am falling too, into myself
and I doubt, fear and fool my heart.
Was this step mine to take
or did I leave you with nothing,
just what never was?
A hollow question, without a simple answer.

Turn your back on me,
I pray you do,
for your smile hurts even more.
