Collective Smile

She curses each angel with a smile.

Plucking and perforating each feather from her fragile wings.

She only looks back to take each blissful smile before she is gone. 

He holds the infant in the smile on his face.

New life disappearing and withering without a chance.

He can not stay together or even watch his smile fade.

They climb walls with the smiles that they forget to use.

Only to fall and trip over words that are twisted and tangled together.

They collect smiles just to keep happiness at bay, and pain far away.

But you can not live life without smiling through each day.

No matter what takes that smile away.
