You Are Not Nice

I can see that smile, even from a mile Back there for a while, I thought you were real But now I’ve seen all your colors And read the thoughts hidden between the lines Where that smile used to make me happy And make my heart race like a new puppy Now I cringe when towards me you turn Because you look at me like the next meal in line The light burning behind those eyes Used to give me peace and joy those sleepless days But now I do not know! Is the color green? Or is it love? like it’s always been? The fire inside your heart is it light or is it dark? Does it sparkle or roar with rage? That heart inside your chest is it gold or is it soot? I know one thing for sure, you are not nice is exactly it.
