Unexpected Ending
Write a poem where the last line is very unexpected.
Smiling
People looked up to me
I looked down at them with a smile
I've never hated a single person
And I never thought that someone would hate me
I thought that I've always been nice
You didn't think so
You didn't like me
You pressed your poison covered lips onto mine
Infecting my entire body
You left without a trace
My smile, still there
The colors fade
The light blares
Sounds slow
Even from 6-feet below
I will be smiling
Since I am the one who hated me, bringing me to die of poison
Self-love is a weed
A toxin
That's why I'm dead
See, now your smile is gone
And you will be soon too.
