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?
