Behind the Teeth
always seem happy and dandy
and talk of love and romance
a riven smile on the face
to hide thoughts of pain
for her, everything has a verse
a waltz at each step
a flimsy variety of beauty
that melts after rehearse
huge hipster glasses
coffee without any taste
a window facing concrete
is now hummingbirds enlaced
and when she sings all her love
I am always in disbelief
cause when someone shouts too much
I sense a hooded grief
