thirty-two.


outside, today.

i stepped into the biggest frown, today.
today, your face held the darkest shade of grey.
your eyes were painted with gloom.
your lips curled over the rays of the sun.
and curled beneath a solid rock of sorrow.

today, i wanted to hear from you.
i wanted to know what was wrong with you.
but silence became a resident in your voice box
and refused to depart.

patiently for you, i waited, today.
i wanted to float with you in Joy.
but instead, you handed me dismay.

i stepped into the biggest frown today.
and it was given to me, from you.

slowly ... my smile jogged away.
