sometimes she

Sometimes she was sad,
And sometimes that sadness would swallow her whole.
And she would stay there for a while,
Wondering why no one came to look for her
When she was so far gone.

Because sometimes she was sad,
But always she smiled.
And sometimes it destroyed her
That no one could see the sadness
Aching inside her bones.

But a smile she could give,
For those who only knew how to take.
And while they said her heart was happy,
Sometimes she was sad.
