You Smile

You smile

Make her feel loved

Wanted

 

But you secretly

Condemn her

 

Is this who you are?

Is this your best side?

Because the camera’s on wheels

And we can always

Get a better shot

 

You smile

At the world in general

From behind

Your cosmetic mask

 

But when we look closely

We can see the cracks

In your facade

 

You paint my face

Different shades of grey

So I’ll fit in

But my complexion’s all wrong

                You say

I’m too pale

And not pale enough

 

I smile

And you grimace

Because it’s all wrong

 

And my lips and skin

Don’t match
