Poetry #117

The boy smiled
As days from now
they will have to part.

It was all too bitter for him,
quite forced and yet he did so with ease.
It was a lie after all.
Something he hated doing.

He wanted her not to see his sorrow,
He wanted her not to see his frown.
He wanted her, with him, to smile.

At least, as a selfish act,
With him, thought it's their last,
she is happy.

It was a mask after all.
But the memories, that will etch in his mind,
will all be real.

Though beautiful it all seemed to be,
It will still be bitter.

Though bitter it is for him,
It will all still be beautiful.
