I have this foreign smile
It drives most people wild
I don’t know why I use it
I guess I just abuse it
Please give me something
Something I can’t see
Please give me something
Something I don’t need
I’m walking away from you
Cause it’s all that I can do
If I had my way with you
I would be called a fool
So keep your distance
Let me go
Maybe then
You'll never know
Why you have this urge
To see me daily
Never to kiss these lips so sweet
I won't let you play me
Please give me someting
Something I can't see
Please give me someting
Something I don't need
I'll keep my smile
And you'll never know
Where it came from
You'll have to let go
Cause you are a coward
Too scared to see
Who I am
What I might be
So never look at me again
And wonder what's behind my grin
I don't have time to explain
I know you can't handle the pain
That love would bring if you loved me
So let me pass by, let me be
Please don't give me something
Something I can't see
Please don't give me something
Something I don't need
You just can't handle me
It drives you wild
As you keep wondering why...
I have this foreign smile

Another good read here. I really like the style of this one. Love how you tied up the end of the poem with the same line as the first. My favorite line of the poem is "To scared to see.....who I am.....what I might be" Wow....just love that. I recognized it in my life immediately! Thank you for sharing some of your wonderful work with us. Looking forward to reading more Michelle
