Paeanistic Smile

I don't know.

 

Nay, you cannot

Steal this smile –

This joyful, paeanistic smile –

From my face,

No matter how

Many kisses you

Plan to plant

Upon my lips

In an attempt

To usurp this

Happiness that dwells

Within my heart.

For stealing the

Lonely, the only

Smile that I have

Upon my visage

Would mean shattering

The mask that lies

Over my soul –

My tainted, irascible soul.

Though you know

That this joyful smile

Is not paeanistic at all,

You still attempt

To steal it away

With your lips –

Your cruel, unequivocal lips –

Because you know

That without my smile –

My deceptive, illusory smile –

I am merely a face –

Only a soul without

Anything to hold on to.
