BEHIND THE SMILE
Behind the smile are the globes
red as blood
Are the rivers: Niger and Benue
causing a flood
Is the ticker, beating fast as
humming bird
And a heart full to the brim
without a word
Before the honeymoon was a
hope for best
And now quest to cope with
what's messed
For one changed, not with mouth
now or then
E'en a promise, a pretence but
wait till then
Behind the smile, is a cry of a
thunder clap
Heared by none, and though can't
take a nap
Is the pain cold as ice, and a
mouth with a zip
And in mem'ry lane wondering
why take a sip?
Let not passion leads you to your
early grave,
And love of currency makes you
eternal slave.

A lady who fell deeply in love, got married to a wrong person because of money. Now crying, regretting but pretending to be fine, as tho she has the best marriage, smiling in the presence of others, but heartbroken when alone.

People put the wrong love in other things instead if where live needs to be at
