SMILES ARE TROUBLE

I smiled at him

& he smiled back...

Smiles like that

are subtle attacks...

Though a smile like his

could make it all painless...

But it wasn't for me -

I'm just being brainless.

 

Because hot grocery boy

wasn't smiling at me...

he was smiling at soldier -

that's really not me...

It's only just clothing

I untucked from them...

I am not a soldier -

I've only fucked them.

 

I'm just a man

with not much to wear...

Who for eight years has

chosen to shave off his hair...

Who smiles at guys

who at times smile back...

A man who seldom wears more

than pitch black.

 

But the smile he gave

& the look that came after...

They both made my night

though they may mean disaster...

For smiles exchanged by men

may confer...

less than you are or

more than you were.

 

Smiles can lead to

more than was wanted...

Smiles have killed...

Smiles have taunted.

 

That smile of his,

that made me feel wanted,

has reversed & now cursed me -

has left me now haunted.
