PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

there are no words

for a face whose forlorn eyes

take me in as a girl-

and not a soul

as a girl

who is not more than a

pretty face

and failed dreams

and hands slightly worn

slightly calloused

slightly groping

as a girl

always hoping

mostly impassive

except when inspired

perhaps by a bit of

love and fairy-tale fluff that

may pass by

and fade into one point of pain

and longing

may pass by

because all sentiment

must pass by
