Never Smile

he never smiles
he never smiles
his eyes are dead
truly and simply dead
he never smiles
he never opens his mouth
he never opens his mouth
except to inspire the smoke
except to expire the smoke
let me down gently
on his blank body
let me down gently
on this blank beauty
the night lies by his side
the night breathes by his side
it’s waiting for him all day
it’s waiting for him all day
the night is on his side
he leaves no traces in the room
he leaves no traces in the air
only scars on my skin
only scars on my skin
let me down gently
on his blank body
let me down gently
on this blank beauty
