Fake Smiles And Empty Laughs

The evidence was there
She wasn't eating
Never sleeping
The baggy shorts
And the long shirts
She pushed everyone away
Tried to make it seem okay
Putting on a show
Her whole audience believed

"How long has it been?"
She promised it hadn't been long
Hiding the older scars that just wouldn't fade
"Why?"
They crowed around her
She didn't know how to answer
She no longer feels
How come no one understood
She smiles
But she can't feel happiness
She laughs
But it's an empty laugh

All the signs were there
But it wasn't your fault
She his behind fake smiles
And empty laughs

Knowing her audience enjoyed the show.
