pretty smile

A pretty smile,
such a pretty smile,

what a pathetic
"hook line and sinker" reason,

to throw true love away.

The pictures,
all the pictures
with those
pretty smiles,

where do we think
that smile came from
in those pictures?

From air thin?

They came from
the truest of loves
found,

thrown away,
for some second rate,
unimaginative,
“you have a pretty smile”.

Any pathetic, un-genuine,
shallow,
hollow,
loser

can read such things
off of cue card from
a dating for dummies book.

Wake up sleeplessly
and pay the price owed,

in fools exchange.

The
NEW TREASURE,

a big pile of
"Fools Gold"
paid for with the blood
of innocent love's blood

of  wanting nothing more,
than to live with prize won.
