Is that a frown I put upon your face child? As I tried to soothe the sadness that smiled on your inside That festered like pathogens inside your heart Is that your index finger? Sitting inquisitively on your lip? I see the distraction in your whirlpools of corneas Your hair lays insecurely on your shoulder blades Let me console you with a joke Pacify your placidity with these sad bars You pick up your phone. You read your texts. Oh? Is that a smile I put upon your face, child? -zaba
