You Make Me Smile Poem by Poet Dragon

I love your expressions
the way they hesitate to change
as if judging whether to or not

You're angry with all your attitude
Annoyed with the roll of your eyes
Offended with a quirk of your lips
Seductive with your shoulders
and happy with your whole face

You're beautiful,
I love the way you smile and laugh
even when you're put down or thrown away

You get my jokes, or know very well
when to laugh at them

You're always finding some reason
to be happy, to have fun, to smile
and spontaneously interject in conversation

You live from day to day in hope
that you'll find your perfect knight

You're passionate about love
but approach it like a little girl
with trust, and with fervor

You need attention, like anyone else
just more of it and more often, to feel normal

You're looking for something to fill you up
because you remember a better time when you were.
But you look in the wrong places.
You have hard times ahead, and tears to shed
