She Smiled

Skin laced with scars
As permanent reminders of failed loves
From boyfriends to husbands
And back to the man she called Dad
Going from a broken home
To dead end relationships and marriages
On the constant search for proper companionship
But instead being beaten into darkness
And then passed on to the next tormentor
Her sadness forever covered
By a cloak of fake smiles and false hopes
Where was her superman?
Was he somewhere inside of her
Crushed under her own kryptonite?
The desire to be loved by some one
Was she being ignored
Or just scared of being heard
But not believed
Laughed at and mocked for
Placing herself in those situations
She needed someone to take
The blame off of her
She needed to find her savior
She began to desire a true smile
A smile that radiated from inside
Thoughts tucked back into her heart
By a hard struck to the back of her head
Body crashed to the floor
Followed by a smile laced with tears
As her suffering came to an end
Along with her life
