Crocodile Smile

You smile the look of hate Your eyes encapsulate Everything you despise in me You hide it well but for me it’s plain to see Your words are so absurd As you imagine the steel blade in your hand digging in with every word Why now be pleasant, why now be fair? You’ve always shown you never care So here I am for all your glee! You finally look down on me You hear my thoughts echo in your head Yes, it’s me in the casket but who’s really dead?
