Smiles

The best kept secret is

 the story behind the brightest of smiles 

the smile was abused last night

it was thrown to the wall and kicked with a drunken rage fuled steel toed boot

Roaches cirlced by knowing the intimidation of that shoe

The smile never hugged never loved was sadly use to this loving treatment

Trained not to show its true feeling  the smile never dropped 

it only stood mechanically in place

never moving

so when it notices the love marks placed there by forgetting to do the dishes and just  for being conceived

It smiles wider 

continuing to hide its best kept secret 

The secret is finally revealed when 

the smile takes a 6 feet underground permanent nap.
