Now I can only smile

Understanding life is an impossibility, understanding death is abstract
So if we can neither understand one or the other; Why do we live?
For now I can only smile

So many believe it to be simplicity
Anger blackens my vision, a horrible mistake takes hold
Can anyone ever forgive the outcome of confusion?
Her tricks, so strongly disguised.
In turn I could not prevent
The shattered glass of this family,
Now I can only smile

With my very blood I’ll glue the pieces together
Not everything will remain as once was but I will maintain and withhold what I must
Even as I wither away and my body shakes
This hold I will not break

No matter what the pieces that remain must never fall.
If I were to let go
Would they forever be forgotten?
This is the remains of my family tree,
Even If it’s broken Its all that’s left
And for that I love it so much more
its broken, and falling apart but its my family

A portrait I see.
A time where we were happy
No maddening ploys.
No plotting lies
Laughter still lingers in those hallow memories
Is this what I fight to bring back?

No amount of work may ever save
This destruction may always remain
However I may save it yet
a hollow reminder that it could always fall
Just the smallest crack could shatter all
So I won’t break my hold
My strength must not give in
Even if I wither away I will hold the pieces together
Ill eternally smile,
If only It will bring back there smiles and for that I will never break
I will never let go until they smile along side me once again.
