When I Smile To You

When I smile to you
do not think I’m a friend
and laughing with you
lie not, no intimacy is there
I talk nice and you think
it is from depth of my heart

Do not fool yourself
actions of the friend
and actions of the enemy
even words of writers
are misleading sign posts
truth lives in the sea-bed
even this poem could be a lie
