I never cared, mouthed the lips Like liquid concrete, cold and hard No warmth or crinkles of care Eyes like glass, an empty one Harsh judgment, all soft gaze expired Compassion extinct. Nothing there. You are not welcome here Says the silence, loud and clear Do I vanish? Into thin air? This face that lit every nerve and cell Is expressionless and will not tell Of a time when it did really care

Ode to an expressionless face
I never cared, mouthed the lips Like liquid concrete, cold and hard No warmth or crinkles of care Eyes like glass, an empty one Harsh judgment, all soft gaze expired Compassion extinct. Nothing there. You are not welcome here Says the silence, loud and clear Do I vanish? Into thin air? This face that lit every nerve and cell Is expressionless and will not tell Of a time when it did really care
