silence
what do i say
what can i doas he cries there helplessly
sitting in tears
face in his handsi dont know what to say
ive never seen him this wayment to see his pa today
he missed the oppotunity yesterday
but this morning his pa left us
and he'll never be coming backso now he's gone
and will's fading, unmovingsniffle and a hiccup
with that will starts to get uphe wipes his eyes quickly
and rubs his hands against his pants
picks the mask back off the table
forces the mold over his facesmiling now
his tears long lost without a trace
you'd never guess
what he had encasedthat was all
not even had i seen him feel so smalland with that
the mask never came off again16/03/15
