I Smile

The tables have turned A new chapter in my book I was giving up hope But risked a second look Strolling into my life With speckled shoulders and toothy smile Saves me from it all Tells me holding on could be worthwhile A raging, fast current Leaves me head over heels Changing souls into fire Rather than rusting steel In a look there was love That had never been spoken Mending and healing The things that should never be broken Life and love just keeps growing And I’ve stopped biting my tongue I’m collapsed in a heap of smiles And I feel fresh air replete my lungs My heart thumping felicity Through my once hollow veins Accepting all of life And cleaning out the stains Dancing on my toes Eager for your lips That have shown me what’s real Replaced old life’s script
