Have you ever noticed the polite smiles?

Question

smiles

polite,

eyes haunting,

words of judgement

dance past your taut lips

your outstretched hands feel parched

retreating to folded arms

words of slander fall to deaf ears

as you avoid looking at my eyes

you commence, hiding behind polite smiles

Answer 3

  What did I do?...I feel your eyes piercing my mind. There's a cold wind blowing...

Answer 4

Awesome and so true.

Answer 5

A girl gave me one of them looks this morning...but I gave her the "unavailable" frown...lol...

Answer 6

great and yes i have noticed =]. I would have liked a little more back story and use of poetic devices eg. metaphors, alliteration etc. but the imagery is so beautiful and tantilizing in its slow-motion honesty that I think you can leave it as it is. society is very stifled and shielded by the plasticity of polite smiles.

Answer 7

You gave a very polite smile....lol..!!!

Great Work ....and the best lines for me are...

as you avoid looking at my eyes

you commence, hiding behind polite smiles!!!
