i remember every carefully constructed smile that i composed for you a melody that i prayed would snag you. my eyes crinkled into rainbow smiles all their own plump lips shaped perfectly dimples placed with practice just in the right spot. you told me over and over "don't look at me like that" jokingly "you're destroying me" you'd say as you laughed and smiled back into mine i wish i had known then that every carefully composed smile was wasted on you you took my smile and smiled it at a hundred other girls you not only stole everything that had ever made me smile but you took my lips, too no more smiles
