Smiling

People looked up to me

I looked down at them with a smile

I've never hated a single person

And I never thought that someone would hate me

I thought that I've always been nice

You didn't think so

You didn't like me

You pressed your poison covered lips onto mine

Infecting my entire body

You left without a trace

My smile, still there

The colors fade

The light blares

Sounds slow

Even from 6-feet below

I will be smiling

Since I am the one who hated me, bringing me to die of poison

Self-love is a weed

A toxin

That's why I'm dead

See, now your smile is gone

And you will be soon too.
