You wear a grin so sweet it stings

A silver tongue that bites and clings

Your eyes are sharp they pierce the air

A quiet storm you're unaware

Smile so soft but the blade is near

Whispers loud I can smell the fear

Laughter cuts like a broken vow

You're the art of a smile hiding a knife somehow

Every step you take is sly

A dance of shadows as you lie

Your honeyed words they drip and fall

But truth is lost beneath it all

Behind the curve of your gentle lips

Is a dagger poised to take its grip

You charm the crowd you steal the night

But shadows show your hidden fight

Smile so soft but the blade is near

Whispers loud I can smell the fear

Laughter cuts like a broken vow

You're the art of a smile hiding a knife somehow

The mask you wear is cracking thin

Revealing what’s beneath your skin

A charmer’s game but it won’t last

Your hidden knife exposed at last
