The Dangerous Smile

Tricky, self important, incredibly dangerous, and sly

When she graces you with their presence they can make any frown go mad

She chooses to appear when she chooses, even in mid cry

(Completely confusing you as you ask your self, I am even sad?)

 

She owns all of the real estate on your face

Your eyebrows, cheeks, and eyes

Who are all independent features until the smile lifts them up in her infinite grace

When she comes calling you can bet your face will cut off any other emotional ties

 

But isn’t that her beauty?

When she convinces you that something small can change your entire disposition

She makes everything awesome, and you just feel like a cutie

Wearing your smile with pride as she glistens since that had always been her mission
