a smile can be contagious
and it can play many roles
it can be the epitome of art
or send an arrow through my heart
a smile can bring me warmth
or jealousy, pain, and even anger
once it brought me joy
now it brings me hate
where did it go wrong?
i ask this, as i stand over your grave
with a goddamn smile just ‘cause
you told me, i had to be brave.
