Blue Painting

Philharmonic sounds surrounding her head
Noise can’t be turned off
Nothing can come through to her
Fingers playing the cello, loud and strong
Shut her thoughts in caves of music
Shut her tears in caves of sound
Shut her fears in caves of solutions
They will come out
Smile to the doorway
Smile to the lamp
Smile to everyone except
The one who is smiling at you
Steel is soft compared to her stubbornness
At least the stubbornness of this kind
Her face shows no sign of lightness
Her face is cold and calm
Smile to the doorway
Smile to the lamp
Smile to everyone except
The one who is smiling at you
Smile to everyone except
The one you painted blue
The one who died for you
