Smiles for her

Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans no matter how much I wish I did

He is but a let down

A failure

Worn Out

Old

Not a leader

Not a sidekick

Nothing to behold

A haunting memory

A shadowy past

For everything he holds on to

Doesn't seem to last

A life long battle

A never ending chase

A salty clear jewel slips down his face

Nothing to show him

Nothing that guides

But he can't let the others see

The feeling he hides

So he wipes it away

And looks out towards the sea

But it keeps coming back

The question…

Why me?

Why am I unreachable?

So far?

So cold?

Not a spark of hope

Just an empty soul…

…A mournful black hole…

Still he smiles

Smiles for her

Those feeling he had

He didn't know what they were

Through the anguish

Self-doubt

Lost

No way out

Searching the heavens

Searching the skies

Searching his heart

Where the answer lies

He found it in her

She was

Light

Beauty

Radiance

Life

She was the one to pull out the knife

She cries for him

For his sake

For his sanity

Pure untainted tears

To drive away his looming fears

Though he his hurt

And he has no cure

Still he smiles

Smiles for her
