i smile on the inside

the hands continue to turn

and i still wake up and get dressed

and crawl into bed at the end of it all

not much has really changed for me in this cave of my reality

at least when i see you smile i know its genuine

i'm glad you're happy and getting better

throw my wishes at the stars for you to have nothing but better memories

i have no problem being the martyr for you to have longer smiles
