Faltering Whispers fill ears Like the wind blowing crisp leaves Glares passed like greetings Stabbed into backs Slipped between ribs Pull up shields Wear them like cloaks Walk tall Hide the stumbling Rise to greet the day But before night and day intermingle You're cut down again Sew on smiles To match button eyes This routine A dance that never ends

Faltering
Faltering Whispers fill ears Like the wind blowing crisp leaves Glares passed like greetings Stabbed into backs Slipped between ribs Pull up shields Wear them like cloaks Walk tall Hide the stumbling Rise to greet the day But before night and day intermingle You're cut down again Sew on smiles To match button eyes This routine A dance that never ends
