The Clown And Her Smile

She gave her smile away

to a wolf in sheep's clothing

He took it right off her face

while his teeth were not showing

Dressed her up as a clown

kept her there for his bidding

He proudly drug her around

while her dignity, stripping

Her beauty still intact

so, he dug at her insides

Such a watered-down act

where love and cruelty collide

She could not tear away

from the love that he promised

Though what he did and he'd say

left her wanting and wannest

But, one day as he taunted

something snapped deep inside

Fully possessed and haunted

she looked him straight in the eyes

Said; I think it's time to get to it

I've had enough of your funnin

If you know what is best, then,

you'd better get runnin

Cause the beast I've had tamed

no longer can keep tied down

He is filled up with rage

tired of being your clown

The next thing he knew

the smile reappeared on her face

Like a brand-new tattoo

He disappeared without trace

Be careful the hearts that you play for a fool

or the next disappearing act, just may include YOU!
