His bright yellow smile was never real
His bright yellow smile was never true
His bright yellow smile was the work of an actor
His bright yellow smile was the smile of a beautiful yet fallen angel
His bright yellow smile was a hoax
His bright yellow smile was a cover up
To keep the dark from overflowing
The dark that was a continuous, ripping, hidden,
silent
Pain
His bright yellow smile was a Bright Yellow Smile
No one noticed the Dark hidden in the yellow of
his sunshine smile
Until he was gone
I miss his Bright Yellow Smile
