The Lost Smile
Gloomily in the corner I sit,
Killing time bit by bit.
Going through this phase,
Without a smile on the face.
Blank stare out of the window,
Little stars in darkness they glow.
I get up to walk a mile,
In search of a faded smile.
I have so much to say,
But no words make way.
This silence no one can hear,
That smile is nowhere near.
To everyone it’s just a plea,
Just buy me some glee.
Help me once in a while,
To find the lost smile.

It is sad when we are so depressed that we cannot even find words or a smile. Thank you for taking part!
Yes it is, but that’s the part of life! Thanks 🙂
Ah, I hope you do find the lost smile!
Thanks for the visit Sherry 🙂
A hint of sadness and i almost want to hug you to make it better. I love the way it flows and the emotion it births,
Oh that’s so sweet of you to say that 🙂 Thanks 🙂
It is a hard thing when one loses the smile. Maybe the walk a mile can help. Or maybe poetry can help the words find their way out. Nice to meet you.
Thank you Mary for stopping by 🙂
I loved this one. It expresses the emotions so well.
Thanks so much 🙂
Just buy me some glee…………..this sentence reflects the person’s silent turmoil.
Yes it does, thanks 🙂
Aw…loved this one…I hope you find the smile! It sucks when it gets lost…
Yes, I did find it back 🙂 Thanks for visiting 🙂
“Buy me some glee” is never good. Walk until you find it – better. Give someone else happiness – best. Is this you today? Do something to make someone else smile! It will help your smiles return. Hugs!
we all feel that way sometimes!! 🙂 *hugs*
And what a lovely poem it is, to be sure <3

Ouch! It’s easy to not understand those silences and unspoken words. Often those are far scarier. A sad poem, yes, but written well 🙂
yes unspoken words are never easy to understand. 🙁
