Ugly Smile

Your smile is so ugly to me
It hides the face that I can’t see
And yet your grin
All the while knowing
You are no friend to me

I’m smarter than you think I am
I know that you pretend
To be there for me, by my side
And elsewhere in the end

So I smile
To hide the fact 
That I know the truth
And I mirror your ugly smile
Looking back at you

i like it but i'm the type of person that says everything i'm thinking and can't hide anything unless it's a devious plan or a big secret

Much said in a few lines Kimberly.. but such truth exudes in this piece.. some 'friends' are really not friends in the sense of the word throughout life.. a sad fact .. u have expressed so brilliantly luv..
