These walls cater phony comfort
I'm not sure if it's the bitter black liquids
Or the soothing Sunday jazz?
My stomach is numb from dead weight

Five years
These seats still aren't warm

My hands are hollow
They will never graze the likeness
An innocent's tender skin has to offer
This poem was inspired by one of Picasso's paintings from his blue period
