She used to always smile

With her teeth straight and white.

Even before her braces,

Back when they weren't so perfect.
It was so loud and so pure

That it pulled people in
And made them want her.

Look back at her pictures.

Scroll down for a while.

Her eyes were alive,

confidence pouring out of every pore.

And, of course, her smile.

She looked so happy then.

Scroll up a little bit,

Her eyes look tired now

and you can never quite tell

if she is sober.

She doesn't lean in the way she used to,

Instead she is stiff in all her poses

so that it all looks like a front,

so that it all looks fake.

But her smile is still the same.

It sits there so nicely

yet it doesn't match her anymore.

It ends beneath her nose

and doesn't reach its way through her eyes.

She didn't look as happy then. 

Scroll up even more.

She looks so different now

older now.

Her eyes are still green and stunning

but they are intimidating and secretive.

Her skin is flawless,

her hair is flawless

and she looks so damn perfect.

But she smiles with her lips pursed closed.
