Smile for Me

My days are as dark as my nights;
as long as the winter holidays.
They are filled with obstacles that are higher than the hurdles I have to jump.
They are as tall as the highest of mountains.
All day, I have to scale them in order to get what I can accomplished.
And all day, I have to push aside mental debris in order to make space for thoughts of you in my mind.

My nights are darker than dark.
Longer than long.
They are filled with broken dreams of my past,
and scattered dreams of my present.
They are also littered with hard thoughts of my unhappiness,
and illusions of my loneliness.
The only thing that will make my life better is seeing your smile.
Your smile is the light of my day,
and the glow in the moon of my night.
Please…
smile for me.
