Your Smiles Are Tears Addressed

For every shown interest,
The withdrawn is impressed:
The guy badly suppressed,
His once high feelings repressed...

Your smiles are tears addressed
And spotted frowns redressed:
Unseen wounds cleaned and dressed,
Rumpled face stretched and pressed.

For every shown interest,
Many restive youths rest;
As many soon their best;
You'd one ask "Be my guest!"

In men you show interest,
In them you block protest...
