Poetry In Progress

I see a sadness in your eyes
the kind thats caused by hurt and lies
And yet no hint of reason
does ever cross your lips

Yet others only see your smile
if only they would take a while
Then they might see you as I do
a frightened little girl

If only you could share with me
the things you need to set you free
Then the spark hid deep within
would return to light your smile

I hope in time that you can share
and shed loneliness and despair
Become one more the graceful swan
I knew you once to be
