Happiness Like a Mask
April 5, 2009
Happiness like a mask,
Wild-eyed and hollow,
And cold electronic task,
And a breath she can’t swallow,
Wild-eyed and hollow,
Now collapsing in darkness,
And a breath she can’t swallow,
An invisible mess,
Now collapsing in darkness,
Like a body displayed,
An invisible mess,
A tomb laid,
Like a body displayed,
Her eyes were fixed,
A tomb laid,
My feelings mixed,
Her eyes were fixed,
And cold electronic task,
My feelings mixed,
Happiness like a mask.
