Smile

Sometimes I smile

Even though the dam of tears are burning my eyes

I smile

My fault

Sorry I was stupid

They smile

The sad and completely lie soaked smile cuts open my face again

She has such a nice smile

What else nice about me?

Why can't these shadows of my pitiful life answer my only question?

I love your smile

Such a nice smile

You have an amazing smile

Do see the real smile?

The ones carved in my flesh

So bright and lovable

My smiles make me smile

But when they see those smiles the lies turn into probing questions

What are those? 

How could you do this to yourself?

I thought we raised you better?

I smile and smile and smile again

Because no one wants to see you frown
