Bird Gone Cold

How bad I feel when the glass fell? 
Accompanying my chattering heart is the loud clatter
Piercing through my heart is your cold silence
Reasons for which I can't phantom 

You deprive me your smile
You deny me your pretty face. 

As I watch a one time smiley turn a 'frownie'
A one time kitty turn a fierce cat
Just like the shore sand, 
Your smile washes away, 
Just like the dark night
A frown still across your face

Smile for me please,
For in your smile
Is embedded a ray of hope
In your pretty face
I see a beautiful picture 
Of a lady with a future. 

I am not immune to begin wrong
But I had options I couldn't choose from
Sing for me, bird sing! 
Same me from this 'self castigating'
Let your name manifest itself tonight 
And let me meet joy.
