27 Reasons to Quit Smiling I feel like I've been lied to 
slapped across the face after a kiss, 
thrown against walls and spat on...
or maybe just forgotten about.

I work here too, you know, 
I break myself
just that much more every day
so I can fit in to your schedule.
I work here too, if you didn't notice...
and I refuse to redeem myself 
through kissing your ass.

I feel like something is missing
someone, maybe...
it's just not right, 
and now I see, the reasons
behind every flighty glance, 
every awkward silence, 
the someone missing is me.

Take this last chance from me, 
this one reason to offer my services, 
this one last time for me to consider
staying, and this one last meaningful
conversation- from which nothing will be learned.
Nothing will be heard, because I
have turned around,

I cannot see your lips move, 
I cannot hear your voice sound, 
I have taken my own advice for once...
I have run away.
