Untill I Can Make You Smile

By brokenworthlessness

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Back and forth, Back and forth, Back and forth. Rocking in my arms. Your tears soak my shirt, and your screams ring in my ears. Holding you close to my cold and shattered heart. I can't make you smile. I can't make you laugh. You don't even notice I'm here, but with each tear, I hold you close. I smooth your tangled hair, dry your crying eyes, as your body shakes with sobs. Your screams drown out my words of comfort. Your tears drown out my smiles. Rocking you in my arms forever, untill I can make you smile.
