SMILE

I greeted you with a smile

You locked the door with a grin

I let down my walls

It was a miracle I let you in

I sat right here

You sat over there

I relaxed the more we laughed

Soon you were stroking my hair

You were too close

The space between us disappeared

You refused to stop

A scenario I feared

I took a deep breath

Spoke with full control of my tongue

Calmly reached into my purse

Quietly pulled out my gun

You didn't see it coming

Your blood stained my hands

I refused to let you hurt me anymore

Strangely no one understands

From a cold sleep, kicking and screaming

I jump from my bed

I didn't actually kill you but

Nightly, I dream you are dead

But no one understands and so

I just keep smiling anyway

All I really want is

For this all to just go away

All I really want is for it all to go away

Go away

Smile

Smile until it goes away
