How Much Longer?
// October 6th, 2005 // No Comments » // Ampalaya Files, Poetry
how much longer can she keep that smile
pasted on that forlorn face?
how much longer can she keep standing
when the ground beneath her keeps crumbling?
how many more jokes can she laugh at now
when she’s nothing more but a hollow shell?
how much longer can she keep smiling?
how much longer can she keep pretending?
