SMILE

I don't know what it is

but I have my suspicions.

Maybe it's your teeth.

Maybe it's the color of your gums

or the amount of lip you show

but you're much less attractive

when you smile.

Something stupid

something goofy

something just plain wrong

takes over your face

something filled with embarrassment and shame

(or should be)

something that makes me much less interested in all your charms.

You're prettier when you frown

and if we are to continue our time together

you'll have to smile much much less

which

because of my affection for you

is something

I shall attempt to effect

for the rest of our days.
