Three Faces

  

The piano drops
down
to
the highest
of low notes
the viola hums
a growl , right through
my soul
as I do choke
it isn't
for I , I cry
three faces
they wonder , why
they're fading slowly
to yesteryears sky
still wandering
a lonely
motherless mind
where god ? , he only knows .


Years have passed
though
it isn't any easier
each day they smile
somehow , they've grown
as you get breezier
they're the warmth
the up from down
you left it all
I don't know how
what you have caused
never was , but is
one now
you're a crazy
santa claus
who threw the best
of all gifts , out .

Time gets lost
it cannot pause , rewind
the cost is yours
all money's poor ,  you'll find
you can't buy
what's free for sure , like life
will you ever see
outside this phony wife ..
