Irreplaceable Smile

I got one unique smile;
Noticeable even from a mile.
Behold me with your eyes
sure, blood bathes my face

Don't mistake my closeness
nor ever encase me in sweetness.
I am no enchantress
as this my widest grin...

Smiling in joys and pains
as though nothing in vain.
Love, hope and faith I retain.
Indeed, keeping me sane.
