Not A Pretty Smile

from If I'm Not Yet by Dreamspook

/

lyrics

i like my smile
it’s not pretty, but it’s mine
a little lazy on the left side
from when it was half paralyzed
it’s a story for another day
and if it changed the way i see my face
then my history still feels like empty space
lost to people that i can’t replace

who knows me now?

now that i start to love myself
who knows my mouth is a lake
dried from the stories that i tell?
if a face holds the moment of a landscape
the record known only to those who’ve tracked the change
and when a great rain falls on nowhere
forming new terrain, new valleys for my face
to spread through when i smile
awash in petrichor, all the epochs of before
who’s my witness to know
and smile in return?
