How to smile
Forget how to
How can I possibly remember
All dusty lips and lips
That should pierce and
Bleed

I can see them
The smiles
But I know there is something
They use blades
Bleeding smiles

Red runs
Coats an entire feeling
Touches
Soaks into soft clothing
A stain

He will smile
She will smile
I smile
Smiling to match their smiles
But all I watch are gashes
Torn open
To let reasons not to smile escape
