We Do Stoop To Beg

by bluebrymilk

Please, Won't you smile? I long to see you face bright and happy Lit up, not stormy, your eyes flashing lightning. Please Won't you talk? Give us that speech that seems to lurk on your tongue Or even just a word, one that could sound loud, for all of us to hear Please, Won't you laugh? Your laugh seems to fill the room Your laughter rings through the house and makes it warm Please, Won't you look? Look up and see the world in all its marvelous colors Don't just stare at the white walls, blind Please, For me?

I am just a girl, Working as hard as she can. Just that wacky girl, In a frying pan. In my little world, All is very hot. Because in a frying pan, Cold is something we're not.
