A somber mood
overwhelms
each who enter
The home
of a woman
now gone
Watery eyes
from those
who barely knew her
Brings a smile
of disgust
to my lips
Memories
are spoken
and shared
Laughter to forget
the so called pain
all play to feel
My eyes
water
I play the game too
The mask
…
my necessity
Her daughter cries
and asks the dog
Who will be
there to love it
Now that her mother
is gone?
It is then
my mask fades
And beneath
I find the same
Misery
my mask lied about…
