Outside In

Outside I'm smiling
but inside I weep
I'm not hungry...
I don't want to sleep.

Outside I'm lively
but inside I'm dead -
you said you were leaving,
my mind filled with dread.

Outside I'm coping
but inside I'm scared,
you say you still care...
I pretend I've not heard.

Outside I'm smiling
but inside I weep
the pain you've inflicted
is the secret I'll keep.
