Hidden Truth in a lie

#OctPoWriMo- Poetry prompt 22

She smiled all along,
Although within- she cried bitterly,
Her smile was as bright as the sunshine,
She hid the bitter truth,
With a beautiful lie- her smile,
She lit candles of hope,
Not sure how long she could cope,
Yet that one lie was lovelier,
Than a thousand truth,
For it brought smile,
To the face that mattered the most
