Faces

I worry about the faces that I grace 
Upon my fractured sculpture
Sometimes they smile
Sometimes they frown
But I worry that there is 
No longer truth that belongs
To these faces
And I worry 
That there will never be again
Our faces
The changing seas 
Expressions that hover 
Amongst Invalid scenes
Would you smile for a broken man
Would you wonder where he’ll be 
In a day or two, maybe three
Eyes that reflect teary 
For the most of  common days
Will you comfort me 
In the near distance 
Where the rain will touch 
Fresh air
The taste 
The scarlet blue lake
If there was a time that I cared 
It definitely is not now
