Beneath

Beneath that laugh there's a scream that we can't hear.
Beneath that smile the pain is left unrevealed.
Beneath her clothing there are bruises left that hurt.
Beneath those scars there's a man she thought once loved her.
Beneath that feeling she knows she always dreamt it.
Beneath those dreams lied the hope of being freed.
Beneath that hope there was nothing else to guide her.
Beneath it all...she remained broken.
