A simile committing suicide is always a depressing spectacle.
A simile is like a pair of eyeglasses, one side sees this, one side sees that, the device brings them together.
A simile is just a metaphor with the scaffolding still up.

I was smiling yesterday, I am smiling today and I will smile tomorrow. Simply because life is too short to cry for anything.

Oh no. Don't smile. You'll kill me. I stop breathing when you smile.

Oh no. Don't smile. You'll kill me. I stop breathing when you smile.
A Lady of Persuasion

A smile is a window on your face to show your heart is at home.

Life is like a mirror. Smile at it and it smiles back at you!
Man, when you lose your laugh you lose your footing.
Everyone smiles in the same language.
