Bay leaves
And pine trees,
Awake the seas
And warn the bees.
In a crowded room
We all see you.
We all hear you,
Feel your presence
Amongst us.
Atticus warned us.
Criticised us for our mistrust.
We abused the power
Even though you had it all.
Atticus always said,
“She wore a smile
Like a gun.”
And in truth,
It shot us all down.

I’m not sure if this is supposed to be romantic, but I felt like the smile is the sleazy smile in politics. Who’s Artticus, by the way?

Atticus is someone who writes quotes? I have no clue… I was scrolling on Pinterest and found “She wore a smile like a loaded gun.” By Atticus and used it!

A smile sometimes can bring happiness but sometimes can be dangerous as well 😉
