Something lost

What is it you 

See

When you look at

Us.

Mother Daughters

Once your friends.

Now

Not friends but I don't know

What.

You look in our eyes 

But your smile doesn't 

Reach

Your eyes.

You say yes

But your eyes shift away at the final

Moment.

You look scared found out

But we don't know why you're scared

And then later

We find out.

And I don't think you could

Care less.

Loss grieve heart empty landscape

Confusion many nights wondering why

Mean girls

Not understanding.

Questions unanswerable.

The world is crazy.

People are in delusion.

But it hurts

And something has been lost.
