Why are you smiling, Miss
So very brightly
Why are you shining
So very much
Must it be
So remorsefully so
That in lieu of depth
With the ones we gave much to
We must settle for the shallow, and imagined pleasures of smiles
In passing
Because I know better
than to involve myself again
In what seems nice
