Glass Faces

Faces trapped beneath, a film of glass
kept their expressions in place through time,
pressed into flesh the forgotten moments.
Another form of memory, labeled and frozen.
Kept their expressions, in place through time
they look on coldly with youthful smiles
Another form of memory, labeled and frozen
The mind is thrown into confusion.
They look on coldly with youthful smiles
pressed into flesh. The forgotten moments?
The mind is thrown into confusion
Faces, trapped beneath a film of glass.
