The pathetic sight of your sunken eyes
|
The angular lines of your hips and waist
|
The light and the dark
|
Of your vallied ribs
|
The skeletal draw
|
Of your temples and cheeks
|
Your breath but a wisp
|
From your string thin lips
|
The acrid stink of your face and mouth
|
Unsound unsure...your shaky legs
|
|
Just when you're about to
|
Learn to smile again
|
I'm going to be the one to
|
Teach you how to cry
|
