A Poem: Waste

A woman smiled
At me today,
What a waste
Of a smile.

Reminds me of “The smiths” :

“In my life, why do I smile
At people who I’d much rather kick in the eye?”

That’s… depressing. I could sense the feeling wash over me when I read it. If anything,
it’s effective. Now I’m going to go play Pinball Arcade to recover from that.----------------

If you felt you didn’t deserve her smile, you should have returned it.

Maybe she was just being friendly because she saw something nice about you or she liked something’ about you. How is that a waste?

That woman probably didn’t want anything from you or expect anything from you except maybe a smile back. People do nice things without ulterior motives or expecting anything in return. Didn’t it feel at least a little good? Or doesn’t it make you feel at least a little good now, after the fact? You don’t have to marry her but just a nod or an effort to smile would have sufficed if you could.

I also don’t smile when ppl smile. Its the negative symptoms like apathy.

A woman can always give a smile for free
But there’s often a significant cost to other possibilities
