"smiling" by theusedpoet (2005-02-22.00) |
smiling, they look across at her. see her. the paints. the footprints. the taste.
smiling, they welcome her. allow her to smile. to open up.
smiling, they poison her. poison her thoughts.
smiling, she knows it'll never last. knows that this is just another path. this is just another yesterday.
so as they dance around with precautious steps. she's already got the rhythm memorized.
but she'll look up with wide eyes. smile innocently. nod trustingly.
she's got them fooled.
but at night. in the loneliness.
once their smiles have fallen and their true nature comes out.
she turns on the light.
exposes them.
and silently walks out.
