Then say you, how do you know
if a face is really friendly
or just a predator on the prowl-
is that a sneer or a smile?
If a real actor can wear
a thousand different expressions
in the space of a single day,
If the lover can jilt without thought,
Because feeling your pain
Is not his chosen prerogative,
Keep your knowledge to yourself
At least for a little longer-
Make sure he is only playing games
And not closing in for the kill.
