Analysis of I miss your smile



I miss your smile

I miss the way you smiled, I miss
the way you didn't care, and
the way you conquered all
your fears. I miss the way you
laughed, and the way you
held your head up high even
when your world a hard fight.
But most of all I miss the way
 you held the hope inside your
eyes.

Now, all I see is the tears,
the pain, and intoxicated fears
your self esteem. Your smile
has turned to a frown, and your
laughs are nowhere to be found.
But most importantly the hope
in your eyes haven been drained
out.

It hard to watch you scream
in pain, and the watch you
make choices throwing your
life away. I tried to help, I tried
to plea my case, but the tears
in your eyes told a story that
even I could not help save.

I miss the way you smiled, I miss
the way you didn't care, and
the way you conquered all
your fears. I miss the way you
laughed, and the way you
held your head up high even
when your world a hard fight.
But most of all I miss the hope
inside your eyes, the ones you
let fade out and die.
